Abstract: | The evolution of a system of growing aggregates in a macroscopically homogeneous medium with account of both the reduction in metastability and the continuing initiation of new nuclei is studied. The corresponding integro-differential model describing the intermediate stage of phase transitions is solved analytically for arbitrary nucleation kinetics and growth rates of nuclei. An exact solution of the Fokker–Planck equation is found with allowance for the diffusivity along the axis of nucleus radii. In limiting cases of purely kinetic and mixed kinetic-diffusion rates of crystal growth for a special form of diffusivity, the obtained solutions transform to earlier known expressions. |
