Abstract: Lateral growth of intermediate phase during reactive diffusion was analyzed. Proposed model is based on the assumption that the main driving force of the lateral growth process is the chemical one (proportional to composition gradient along the interface). Asymmetric case of phase formation taking into account the curvature of all three interfaces at the triple joint is considered.

Abstract: The influence of thermodynamic constraints like the size, depletion, surface tension and kinetic constraints like energy barrier for diffusion on nonsteady separation kinetics in binary nanopowder is investigated. Here we present a numeric analysis of size hysteresis and its peculiarities using the standard kinetic equation approach.

Abstract: The initial stages of reactive diffusion have been studied by Monte-Carlo simulations. New MC-scheme describing the competition of two ordered intermediate phases is proposed. Main peculiarity of presented MC-model is a strong dependence of interatomic interaction energies on the local atomic surrounding, enabling us to distinguish new phases more distinctly.
