Growth of Clusters and of Ensembles of Clusters: Ostwald Ripening and Ostwald’s Rule of Stages

摘要: In the preceding chapter, basic ideas and models of description growth processes for macroscopic samples newly evolving phase are outlined. present chapter these results extended to account surface or interfacial effects in crystallites or, more generally, clusters phase. These importance, if size is comparable magnitude with Gibbs-Thomson critical cluster size. Such effect importance asymptotic stages decomposition solid solutions, denoted commonly as coarsening Ostwald ripening. The theory ripening reviewed Ostwald’s rule introduced discussed details.
