Crystallization in an undercooled Aluminum (Al) droplet occurs via the formation of crystalline nuclei by homogeneous or heterogeneous nucleation and successive growth of nuclei. Crystallization event at low undercooling 6.4 oC of 9.91~mg in compact Al sample was detected using isothermal differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) after several tenths of minutes. In this case, standard analysis based on Johnson-Mehl-Avrami-Kolmogorov (JMAK) model is not appropriate as Avrami parameter n obtained by fitting of DSC data is too low. A homogeneous nucleation model is applied to determine the basic characteristics of nucleation: the size distribution of nuclei, nucleation rate, total number of nuclei and crystallization fraction at the nucleation process. The number of atoms in a liquid Aluminum droplet decreases with time as the formation of a new crystalline phase occurs. As a consequence, a decrease in stationary nucleation occurs.
