A small disk of vacancies is used as the critically sized cluster for the formation of dislocation loops in quenched aluminum. Application of steady-state nucleation theory to this model yields a coherent description for the nucleation of single and multiple loops which is in agreement with several different sets of experimental data. It also defines the important variables and predicts their effect in the nucleation process.
