Abstract

Abstract Influence of solution volume on the inherent stochastic distribution of induction time during nucleation process was investigated by developing a mathematical model based on Single Nucleus Mechanism and the Poisson’s distribution. The results show that the distribution of induction time turns narrower with the increase of solution volume, indicating that the stochastic nature of nucleation become weaker. Based on the mathematical model, the stochastic distribution of crystal nucleation at different solution volume can be determined. The induction time of HMBTAD in acetonitrile were measured at different volumes to validate the mathematical model. Transition volume at which the induction time becomes reproducible was also calculated from the mathematical model. The theoretically calculated value of transition volume is consistent with experimental result obtained from induction time measurement, which also verify the correctness of mathematical model.
