Formulation of the anisotropic coarsening theory and applications to the liquid-phase sintering of Si3N4.

We have developed a new coarsening theory that more completely describes grain growth of a system of anisotropic particles such as completely faceted crystals by Ostwald ripening. Our model takes the anisotropy of surface energies on dissimilar facets into account, and the particle sizes are describ...
