Physical chemistry

the theory that a new phase forms through clusters that must overcome a free energy barrier set by the balance of bulk and surface energies.

In physical chemistry, classical nucleation theory refers to the theory that a new phase forms through clusters that must overcome a free energy barrier set by the balance of bulk and surface energies. This meaning comes from Becker (1935) in Annalen der Physik.[1]
