Though there is an advantage in using the higher solubility amorphous state in cases where
low solubility limits absorption, physical instability poses a significant barrier limiting its use …

We present a new model for the entire process of phase-separation that combines steady-
state homogeneous nucleation theory with the classical Lifshitz-Slyozov mechanism of …

Modification of surfaces by laser heating has become a very important aspect of modern
materials science. The author's own interests in laser processing have been involved in the …

Nucleation kinetics of glass-ceramics is frequently determined using Tammann's double-
stage heat-treatment. This method requires a complex deconvolution of the experimentally …

We describe the solution of various Becker-Döring models. First, we analyse equilibrium and
steady-state solutions, together with the large-time behaviour of solutions for the case of …

A dynamic computational model developed within the context of the classical theory of
phase evolution was applied to the W–C system to simulate the kinetics of phase selection …

Nucleation is considered for nonzero rate of change of the dimensionless barrier B, which is
characterized by a finite, slowly varying “nonstationary index” N∝−(d B/dt). In the standard …

An analytical description of devitrification kinetics induced by time-dependent nucleation
and growth of crystallites during a quench-heating cycle is proposed. Relevant experimental …

General interpolating expressions, valid for near-and arbitrary overcritical sizes of clusters,
are proposed for the nucleation fluxes and distributions. Results are expressed in terms of …

The one-dimensional escape problem for both overdamped and underdamped cases is
treated using a combination of matched asymptotic and Laplace transformation techniques …
