Abstract

A system of a metastable phase with a pseudo continuous set of the heterogeneous centers is considered. An analytical theory for kinetics of decay of the metastable phase in such a system is constructed. The free energy of formation of a critical embryo is assumed to be known in the macroscopic approach as well as the solvatation energy. The theory constructed below is based on the quasistationary approximation for the nucleation rate.
