We study the metastability and nucleation of the Blume–Capel model on complex networks, in which each node can take one of three possible spin variables {−1,0,1}. We consider the external magnetic field h to be positive, and let the chemical potential λ vary between −h and h in a low...

An analytical description of the nucleation stage in a supersaturated vapor with instantly created supersaturation is given with taking into account the vapor concentration inhomogeneities arising as a result of depletion due to nonstationary diffusion onto growing droplets. This description is...

Discovery of the anomalous generation and extinction of crystal nuclei in nonequilibrium supercooled liquids reflects essentially the effects of the real heterogeneous structure and its irreversible relaxation on the stability of the nucleus. The kinetic model involving one order parameter was...
