Abstract

The non-classical mechanism of the cluster nucleation is described. This important issue is taken into account in studying a nanocylinder for which, in the simplest model, the thickness of the interfacial layer cannot be determined because it supposedly has a small size. At the same time, it has been shown that the introduction of a special form of anisotropy energy makes it possible to analytically describe the origin of an interfacial layer whose sizes can be regarded. These clusters represent primary mineral particles for which crystallization is one of the possible evolutionary scenarios in mineralogy.
