Abstract: In the framework of the classical thermodynamic approach, an expression for the joint contribution to the work of formation of a spherical cluster of a new phase from the side of a uniform external electric field and the field of an ion that is outside the cluster is obtained. The analysis of the obtained expression in the case of the vapor–liquid phase transition is carried out.

Keywords: nucleation, work of cluster formation, electric field, ions, nucleation rate.
