Abstract

The effects of stochastic apppearence of embryos of a new phase are analyzed analytically. A new approach by the similarity of nucleation conditions is proposed. Corrections for a number of droplets are estimated. A comparison with numerical simulation is given. A good coincidence between theoretical and numerical results can be seen.
