Thermodynamic model for lattice point defect-mediated semi-coherent precipitation in alloys

Precipitation of secondary phases in a crystalline matrix often leads to the loss of coherency at the phase boundary. Here, a thermodynamic model for precipitation is presented that takes into account the role of lattice point defects on the accommodation mechanism of coherency loss.
