Analytical Modeling of the Mixed-Mode Growth and Dissolution of Precipitates in a Finite System

In this paper, a novel analytical modeling of the growth and dissolution of precipitates in substitutional alloys is presented. This model uses an existing solution for the shape-preserved growth of ellipsoidal precipitates in the mixed-mode regime, which takes into account the interfacial mobility...
