Grain-size evolution in subducted oceanic lithosphere associated with the olivine-spinel transformation and its effects on rheology
TL;DR: In this paper, the role of grain-size reduction during the olivine-spinel transformation on rheological properties of subducting slabs on the basis of a scaling model for microstructural development during nucleation and growth was investigated.

Crystallization kinetics and the JMAK equation
TL;DR: In this paper, the application of the Johnson-Mehl-Avrami-Kolmogorov (JMAK) theory for the calculation of the volume fraction crystallized is discussed for several particular cases of isothermal transformations.

Crystallization behavior of sputter-deposited amorphous Ge2Sb2Te5 thin films
TL;DR: In this article, the crystallization behavior of amorphous Ge2Sb2Te5 thin films was investigated by using differential scanning calorimetry, x-ray diffraction, and optical reflectivity measurements.

Changes of microstructures and high temperature properties during high temperature service of Niobium added ferritic stainless steels
TL;DR: In this article, changes of microstructures and high temperature properties in high temperature aging were investigated using several Niobium added ferritic stainless steels, and it was found that the microstructure stability of Nb-Ti-Mo alloyed steels in high- temperature aging is superior to that of nb added steels.

Transformation-induced plasticity in ferrous alloys
TL;DR: In this paper, Turteltaub et al. studied the mechanical behavior of a class of multiphase carbon steels where metastable austenite at room temperature is found in grains dispersed in a ferrite-based matrix.
