Abstract

In the asymptotic limit of a high nucleation barrier we obtain the heterogeneousâ€�toâ€�homogeneous induction time ratio as a function of the contact angle. The result is in excellent agreement with the data of numerical simulations by Greer et al. [J. Cryst. Growth 99, 38 (1990)]. An expression to describe individual (nonreduced) induction times is also obtained.
