Extending the Time Scale in Atomistic Simulation of Materials
TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss promising new methods, derived from transition state theory, for accelerating molecular dynamics simulations of these infrequent-event processes, such as hyperdynamics, parallel replica dynamics, temperature-accelerated dynamics, and on-the-fly kinetic Monte Carlo.

The kinetics of precipitation from supersaturated solid solutions
I.M. Lifshitz,V.V. Slyozov +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an analysis is made of the process whereby diffusion effects can cause the precipitation of grains of a second phase in a supersaturated solid solution, and the kinetics of this type of grain growth are examined in detail.
Book
On Growth and Form
TL;DR: This book is an application of some of the concepts of physical science and sundry mathematical methods to the study of organic form and is like one of Darwin's books, well-considered, patiently wrought-out, learned, and cautious.
