2. Reminders on nucleation and growth in solution
A more detailed description of these concepts can be found in the literature ([1]
2.1 Sursaturation
If we consider a supersaturated solution, the driving force for crystallization is the difference in chemical potentials between the molecules in the supersaturated mother solution µ and those in the saturated solution µ s at crystal-solution equilibrium. This difference is written, per mole of molecule that will crystallize :
