A microscopic derivation of the classical nucleation equation

J.P. Marchand and Ph.A. Martin

Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications, 1984, vol. 127, issue 3, 681-691

Abstract: The Becker-Döring equation of classical nucleation theory is derived in the framework of spin-flip dynamics of the Ising model. The derivation is based on a microscopic analysis of droplet geometry at low temperature.
