Abstract

We have studied the nucleation in the two dimensional Ising model by Monte Carlo simulation. The nucleation time has been studied as a function of the magnetic field for various system sizes. The logarithm of the nucleation time is found to be proportional to the inverse of the magnetic field.The crossover field and time are studied as a function of system size. The observed variations are consistent with the prediction of classical nucleation theory.
