The influence of surface tension forces and the dislocation structure of crystals on the formation of new phase nuclei in melting and crystallization is considered. It is shown that the main cause of the dramatic difference between superheating of the solid phase in melting and supercooling of the liquid phase in crystallization is surface defects.
