MATHEMATICAL CONSTRUCTION OF THE COOLING CURVE CHARACTERIZING CRYSTALLIZATION FROM A SUPERCOOLED MELT
V. D. Aleksandrov and V. A. Postnikov UDC 532.781-785-548.1 A theoretical model characterizing the explosive crystallization from a supercooled melt has been proposed and analyzed. Taking account of the specific features of the cluster-coagulation model of crystallization and the specific features of the experiment has made it possible to construct cooling curves adequate to the experimental ones.
