The crystal nucleation of nitrogen is studied by molecular dynamics. Using the umbrella sampling technique, we are able to determine the free energy barrier of nucleation and the structure of the critical nucleus formed under typical experimental supercoolings. In agreement with OstwaldΓs Γstep rule
