Methods for quantitative analysis of nucleation rate, the criterion of marginal stability, nonequilibrium partition coefficient, as well as the relationship between growth rate with undercooling and dendrite tip radius were presented. Some limitations and future developments of nonequilibrium theory were presented. (Edited author abstract) 55 Refs.展开更多
