Prof Slezov spent decades analyzing this topic and obtained a number of results that form the cornerstone of this rapidly developing branch of science.Following an analysis of unresolved problems together with proposed solutions, the book develops a theoretical description of the overall course of first-order phase transformations, starting from the nucleation state right up to the late stages ofPhase transformations (Statistical physics)Statistical physicsElectronic books.Phase transformations (Statistical physics)Statistical physics.530.414Slezov V.
