Abstract

The general theory of nucleation and growth of a new phase with a given stoichiometric composition, developed earlier, is reformulated for the case of segregation of a one-component new phase in a solid solution.General expressions for the steady-state cluster size distribution and the steady-state nucleation rate are obtained as well as estimates for the time interval where these expressions may be applied.The general expressions are specified for a description of different particular cases (nucleation in real solutions, nucleation and interfacial kinetics, nucleation under the influence of elastic strains) which are of importance in a large number of technological applications. © 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd
