n this paper, the kinetics of nucleation is studied in inhomogeneous media such as a mixture of the nematic liquid crystals p-methoxybenzylidene-p-butylaniline (MBBA) and p-ethoxybenzylidene-p-n-butylaniline (EBBA). Experimental data are analysed in terms of the classical Avrami model for nucleation. The observed non-uniform nucleation is explained within the framework of the Landau model for phase transitions. A modification to the Avrami model is proposed in order to describe the kinetics of nucleation in highly inhomogeneous media.
