4 (a) For the solidification of nickel, calculate the critical radius r* and the activation free energy G* if nucleation is homogeneous. Values for the latent heat of fusion and surface free energy are 2.53 109 J/m3 and 0.255 J/m2 , respectively. Use the supercooling value found in Table 10.1. (b) Now, calculate the number of atoms found in a nucleus of critical size. Assume a lattice parameter of 0.360 nm for solid nickel at its melting temperature.
