The solid phase crystallization of chemical vapor deposited amorphous silicon films onto
oxidized silicon wafers, induced either by thermal annealing or by ion beam irradiation at …

Filling a gap in the literature, this crucial publication on the renowned Lifshitz-Slezov-
Wagner Theory of first-order phase transitions is authored by one of the scientists who gave …

The classical theory of homogeneous bubble nucleation is reconsidered by employing a
phenomenological nucleation barrier in the capillarity approximation that utilizes the …

The crystallization sequence, volume fractions and crystal sizes of nucleating agents, high-
quartz (HQ-ss) and keatite (K-ss) solid solutions in a lithium alumosilicate glass with …

The time lag in transient nucleation is solved exactly for both the simple monomer
approximation and the more complicated multipath kinetics with detailed balancing. It is …

A system of nearest-neighbor interacting spins driven by a Glauber-type dynamics on a two-
dimensional hexagonal lattice was studied as a model for a first order phase transition. The …

Calculations were performed of the crystal growth rates in lithium disilicate glass in the low-
temperature regime where homogeneous nucleation is observed. The computations were …

We derive an exact expression for the induction time associated with the Zeldovich
nucleation equation in terms of rapidly convergent integrals. Also, we consider an …

A new approach is proposed to explain the strong difference between the induction periods
(nucleation time-lags) obtained from nucleation rate measurements and from crystal growth …

Transient binary nucleation is more complex than unary because of the bidimensionality of
the cluster formation kinetics. To investigate this problem qualitatively and quantitatively, we …
