Description: We evaluate both the vacuum decay rate at zero temperature and the finite temperature nucleation rate for the <math>\left(\frac{\lambda}{4!}\phi^4+\frac{\sigma}{6!}\phi^6\right)_{3D}\,\!</math> model. Using the thin-wall approximation, we obtain the bounce solution for the model and we were also able to give the approximate eigenvalue equations for the bounce.
