Abstract
In recent papers Rios and Villa resorted to developments in stochastic geometry to revisit theclassical KJMA theory and generalize it for situations in which nuclei were located in space accordingto both homogeneous and inhomogeneous Poisson point processes as well as according to Materncluster process and surface and bulk nucleation in small specimens. Rigorous mathematical methodswere employed to ensure the reliability of the new expressions. These results are briefly described.Analytical expression for inhomogeneous Poisson point process nucleation gives very good agreementwith Cellular Automata simulations. Cellular Automata simulations complement the analyticalsolutions by showing the corresponding microstructural evolution. These new results considerablyexpand the range of situations for which analytical solutions are available.
