Nucleation of an emerging phase has long been one of the major research fields in Science and Engineering. In many cases, interfaces play crucial roles by providing (heterogeneous nucleation) or suppressing (homogeneous nucleation) potential nucleation sites for bulk phase transitions. In this book, an experimental study of phase transitions of long-chain n-alkanes induced by the effect of interfaces is described. In particular, the effect of inert and molecularly smooth solid surfaces and that of gas interfaces are investigated in detail. Given that the vast majority of phase transitions...
