✦ Synopsis


The topological properties of a set of nuclei undergoing a phase transformation were investigated. The nuclei were spread out in a plane according to a Poisson distribution. All centres started to grow at the same moment and with the same constant rate. They grew circularly and free of shrinking. The mean numbers per nucleus of grain boundaries, triple points and growth fronts were calculated as functions of the degree of transformation, F (0 ~< F~< 1). For these relationships we deduce plain and exact expressions.
