Kinetics of nucleation with decreasing rate of growth

“…In the characteristic region of localization of the profile there will be many droplets and we come to the collective regime of vapor consumption (see Refs. [5,4]). Procedure of derivation of the evolution equation is absolutely analogous to Ref.…”

“…But it is not too simple to cancel parameter b because earlier [4] the condition, which allows to cancel this parameter was the following: The point of decompositions has to be chosen as the maximum of the supersaturation (or as the maximum of f ). In situation with α = 0 one cannot satisfy this condition.…”

“…The classical theory of nucleation [1,2] describes the appearance of embryos in this case. This theory is the base of kinetics of phase transformation [3,4]. We shall borrow the terminology from this case.…”

“…[3,4] was a property of the avalanche consumption of a mother phase by droplets. This property means that the intensity of absorption of vapor by a droplet rapidly increases with the growth of the droplet size.…”

“…The universality of the size spectrums in the avalanche regimes of growth [4] leads to a certain monotony in the properties of materials formed in these regimes. The goal to get new properties justifies the analysis of nucleation with the decreasing rate of growth of embryos.…”
