A small spherical droplet (1mg) of liquid Cu is cooled until it solidifies. Calculate
the critical undercooling T** required to form one single critical nucleus,
homogeneously. Note that for Cu,Tm=1083C, surface tension SL=200ergscm2,
density of liquid Cu=10gcm3, latent heat of melting Hm=50calg, and atomic
volume of solid Cu is 1.1810-29m3. In addition, you can assume the density of
nuclei sites within the liquid droplet is 1020cm3. Compare your solution obtained
using both the Volmer-Weber and Becker-Dring approaches.
