Nucleation and crystal growth

In this video we explain the processes of nucleation and crystal growth and talk about a good example of this, namely snowflakes. We explain the difference between homogeneous and heterogeneous nucleation and the difference between non-uniform lateral and uniform normal crystal growth. Furthermore, we explain the physics behind homogeneous and heterogeneous nucleation.
