The basic assumptions of the diffuse interface theory of nucleation (bulk physical properties at the center of nuclei and size-independent interface thickness) are discussed in the light of field-theoretical calculations and light/X-ray reflectivity measurements. It is concluded that, contrary to recent suggestions, the basic assumptions of the diffuse interface theory are reasonable.
