Abstract

Analytical expressions for the time-dependent crystallized volume fraction are derived from new results for the transient rate of nucleation reported in Part I. Conventional formulations that have been used in interpreting crystallization experimental data and for assessing the stability of amorphous phases are shown to be large time limits of the newly derived expressions. An approach for assessing the stability of an amorphous phase is proposed.

The value of τe can be obtained from the measured N(gd, t), as shown in Part I. τ can be estimated from the value of τe based on estimations of θ and g * Since τe/τ is a function of only θ and g* and is not very sensitive to and g*, as shown in Part I. τ3 can be obtained from measured (αt) since α(t) is a function only of, τ, τe, and τ3.Google Scholar
