semiclassical tunneling of a metastable field configuration to a lower-energy vacuum through nucleation of bubbles.

In particle physics, false vacuum decay refers to semiclassical tunneling of a metastable field configuration to a lower-energy vacuum through nucleation of bubbles. This meaning comes from Coleman (1977) in Physical Review D.[1]
