27. For a system with a small volume fraction of the minor phase, a strong fluctuation of the volume fraction is needed in the initial configuration. A fluctuation of Δφ = 0.01 might be too small to allow for the growth of the nuclei. For a discussion of this point, see Toral, R.; Chakrabati, A.; Gunton, J. D. Phys Rev A 1992, 45, 2147.
