✦ Synopsis

much more slowly than would be expected according t o theory. The reason is that the growth of crystalline precipitates at concentrations close to saturation is generally not diffusion-controlled. A third example is the kinetics of phase separation in quenched supersaturated metal alloys, such as Ag-Pb. An interpretation of this separation as ripening of the clusters formed on quenching is suggested. The change in particle number and size may be traced by resistance measurements and with an electron microscope. Measurements have so far shown qualitative agreement with theory. Independent measurements of the diffusion coefficient in heterogeneous crystals are necessary, however, for reliable evaluation, especially with regard to a calculation of the interfacial tension between two solid phases.
