Nucleation kinetics in phase transformations with spatially correlated nuclei
M. Tomellini
Phase transitions ruled by nucleation and growth can occur by nonrandom arrangement of nuclei. This is verified, for instance, in thin film growth at solid surfaces by vapor conden…
Connection between Phantom and Spatial Correlation in the Kolmogorov-Johnson-Mehl-Avrami-model: A brief review
Massimo Tomellini, Massimo Fanfoni
The goal of this minireview is restricted to describe how the Kolmogorov-Johnson-Mehl-Avrami model has evolved from its birth up to the present day. The model, which dates back to…
Kinetics of phase transformations with heterogeneous correlated-nucleation
M. Tomellini, S. Politi
We develop a stochastic approach for describing 3D-phase transformations ruled by time-dependent correlated nucleation at solid surfaces. The kinetics is expressed as a series of c…
Kinetic theory of cluster impingement in the framework of statistical mechanics of rigid disks
M. Tomellini, M. Fanfoni
The paper centres on the evaluation of the function n(theta)=N(theta)/N0, that is the normalized number of islands as a function of coverage 0<theta<1, given N0 initial nucleation…
Beyond the Kolmogorov Johnson Mehl Avrami kinetics: inclusion of the spatial correlation
M. Fanfoni, M. Tomellini
The Kolmogorov-Johnson-Mehl-Avrami model, which is a nucleation and growth poissonian process in space, has been implemented by taking into account spatial correlation among nuclei…
