Formation of Atomic Cluster
At the Tm, the liquid phase has a volume 2-4% greater than the solid.

How do we define ΔTN?
Under suitable conditions, liquid nickel can be undercooled (or supercooled) to 250 K below Tm (1453oC) and held there indefinitely without any transformation occurring.
Normally undercooling as large as 250 K are not observed.
The nucleation of solid at undercooling of only ~ 1 K is common.
In the refrigerator, however, water freezes even ~ 1 K below zero.
In winter, we observe that water freezes ~ a few degrees below zero.
Which equation should we examine?
