1. The process of nucleation and growth generally occurs in two different stages. 2. Spinodal decomposition can be contrasted with nucleation and growth . 3. The self-assembly is governed by the normal processes of nucleation and growth . 4. In contrast, theories of nucleation and growth have to invoke the thermodynamics of fluctuations. 5. The nucleation and growth of a crystal are under kinetic, rather than thermodynamic, control. 6. Nevertheless, it can be prepared due to the relative ease of crystal nucleation and growth . 7. Energy consuming self-organising systems such as the microtubules in cells also show nucleation and growth . 8. During a time interval, 0, nucleation and growth can only take place in untransformed material. 9. Electrochemistry is a method that controls the nucleation and growth process of noble metals and alloys efficaciously. 10. His well known major contributions is about diffusional nucleation and growth , and the mechanisms of phase transformations.
