    Nucleation in Salt Solutions
    (Journal of the Chemical Society : Faraday Transaction - I. The Chemical Society, London. 1973, 69 (3), 1973) V. A., Garten; R. B., Head
    The nucleation of a number of sparingly soluble electrolytes has been studied by a precipitation method and interfacial free energies have been estimated using vapour nucleation theory. The results have been correlated with those obtained by other workers for aqueous solutions by precipitation or by the super-cooling technique. It is shown that the specific interfacial free energy of the separating phase (calculated from the observed rate of nucleation) is a nearly linear function of the negative logarithm of molar solubility.
