A procedure is outlined for the first-principles calculation of the rate of decay of a metastable phase. The mode1 on which the calculation is based is sufficiently genera1 to describe a wide variety of thermally activated nucleation and growth processes, hopefully even including decay of superflow

The decay of metastable states is initiated by a nucleation process in which a free energy barrier is overcome, while in unstable states fluctuations can grow unaffected by such a barrier. The first part of this review considers the significance of the spinodal line separating the metastable and uns

The method of Kramers is generalized for arbitrary (Markovian and continuous) metastable systems with isolated transition points. The result for the transition rate is shown to coincide with that obtained from the mean first passage time. This second method, which holds for more general sets of tran
