The formation phase of the basic mass of the new phase is treated for the diffusion regime, for which the growth in isolated extractions is limited by the diffusion material supply from the parent metastable medium to the surface of separation. The shape of the new phase is assumed to be spherical, while for the medium it is concentration-supersaturated. In treating fluctuations in the rate of growth, the distribution function \(f(t,r)\) of separate size varies according to the Fokker-Planck evaluation equation, \[ \frac{\partial f}{\partial t}+\frac{\partial}{\partial r} \Bigl(\frac {dr}{dt}f\Bigr)=\frac{\partial^2}{\partial r^2}\bigl(Bf\bigr) \] (\(B\) is the effective diffusion coefficient along the radius axis). The recondensation process typical for the concluding stage of the phase transition has no influence at the stage.
