Abstract

A numerical analysis of the joint effect that the radii of the nucleus and the insoluble impurity particle have on the nucleation work and the nucleation rate of crystallization centers has been performed. The extreme dependence of these parameters on the impurity particle size has been established for the first time and scientifically justified practical recommendations on the choice of nanomodifier particle sizes have been elaborated.
