Abstract

We present a new theoretical model of nucleation and growth in term of a novel domainspatial correlation function. This model probes the patterns and spatio-temporal evolution of nucleation and growth process and agrees very well with experimental data. The dynamic domain-spatial correlation function directly and simultaneously explores the transformed volume fraction, the time-dependent domain size distribution function, and the spatial correlation function of domain core centers for the entire process, including the post-nucleation, domain growth and grain formation stages.
