TORRENT-BURGUES, J.. Test of Nucleation Models from Compiled Data. Port. Electrochim. Acta [online]. 2007, vol.25, n.2, pp.273-283. ISSN 0872-1904.

Nucleation models have been tested using reported experimental nucleation data in several systems dealing with electrocrystallization from aqueous solutions, and with a wide range of supersaturations or overpotentials. The critical nucleus size has been calculated and the results obtained with the classical and atomistic models have been compared and discussed. In order to compare these values with those occurring in crystallization, the values of the critical nucleus size for several crystallization systems have also been calculated, and then compared and commented.

Palabras clave : nucleation; electrocrystallization; atomistic model; classical models; critical nucleus size.
