Abstract

The traditional method of evaluation of activation energy leads to its significant underestimation. The correct value of this energy can be obtained using a new method. It is almost doubled in comparison with the old value. This proper value enables to calculate free energy of secondary nuclei. Knowing this quantity value allows calculating other parameters of secondary nucleus like: density of the free surface energy, size and the number of particles in the nucleus.
