Abstract

Nucleation is important in influencing microstructures obtained by solidification. The fundamentals of crystal nucleation are most readily studied in glasses. Some recent results on metallic glasses are reviewed. Numerical modelling of transient nucleation kinetics can provide fits to measured data and can test theory. New extensions of the modelling to heterogeneous nucleation and to two-component systems with differing species mobilities are described.
