Abstract
Electrochemical phase formation is a typical example of a first-order phase transition. The precursor of the overall phase change is nucleation—the appearance of small clusters of atoms or molecules carrying the basic properties of the new phase. Why and how the nuclei form on a foreign substrate are the fundamental questions addressed by this article.Keywords
