From of the spectra of nucleus dimensions in first-order phase transitions

摘要

We study a generalization of the analytic theory of first-order phase transitions to the cases of arbitrary droplet growth, of nonisothermal processes, and of heterogeneous centers in the system. We show that in all these cases, the spectra of droplet dimensions are similar. The same forms of the spectra are also obtained for the stationary condensation process in a spatially inhomogeneous system.
