Abstract
Crystallisation is a two-step process, Step 1 being Nucleation (commencement of the new phase) & Step 2 being subsequent growth of nuclei to crystals. The pre-requisite for crystallisation to occur is the formation of a super-saturated solution, which is in a non-equilibrium state. From this point forward, the process is all about moving toward an equilibrium point, to achieve crystal formation.
