Nucleation, in a metallurgical sense, refers to the beginning of a phase transformation at distinct sites, where the nucleus is the first stable particle allowing a matrix interface and the initiation of a new phase or a phase recrystallisation.
The seeding of clouds with carbon dioxide to nucleate rain droplets is an example of the introduction of a foreign particle to effect nucleation.
