The crystal nucleation rate in a supercooled Lennard–Jones liquid has been determined in molecular dynamics simulation as a function of pressure at a reduced temperature T* = 0.55. The results of simulation have been compared with classical homogeneous nucleation theory. Good agreement between theory and the results of computer simulation has been found |
