An approximate method for describing evolution prior to coalescence
Abstract:
A new approximate method is proposed for describing the evolution of the system at the stage after the end of substantial consumption of the metastable phase and before the start of coalescence. The properties of evolution during this period are analyzed and the reasons why the Lifshitz–Slezov asymptotic behavior is achieved so quickly are shown.
Keywords:first order phase trransition, kinetics, coalescence.
