    - The cooling curve formed when a material is solidified due to latent heat of fusion is called as thermal arrest.

    - Undercooling is defined as the temperature to which liquid metal cools down during nucleation below equilibrium freezing temperature.

    - The increase in temperature of an undercooled liquid metal which is caused due to liberation of heat during nucleation is called as recalescence.

    - Thermometry is a branch of physics which is concerned with temperature measurement and also with the use and design of thermometers or pyrometers.
