Abstract

The mechanisms of α-Sn nucleation on foreign seeds, including metastable ones, are considered. Based on earlier and new experimental data for induction times of α-Sn nucleation from 102 to 1011 s, it is suggested that spontaneous α-Sn nucleation is impossible because of kinetic hindrances in the solid phase.
