Feasible nucleation in condensed media by the aggregation mechanism of small metastable crystalline clusters is demonstrated. The presence of the stable small clusters in the initial phases makes the homogeneous and heterogeneous nucleation processes more similar.

Keywords: nucleation, homogeneous and heterogeneous nucleation, clusters.
