TLDR
In this paper, the authors present a general introduction to the theory of transformation kinetics of real metals, including the formation and evolution of martensitic transformations, as well as a theory of dislocations.

The dynamics of solid-solid phase transitions 2. Incoherent interfaces

TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed a complete theory of incoherent phase transitions in the presence of deformation and mass transport, with phase interface structured by energy and stress, and provided a complete set of interface conditions for an evolving incoherent interface.

A symmetry approach to domain structures

TL;DR: In this article, the symmetry of the order parameter is specified by operations preserved at the transition, domains are determined by lost symmetry operations, and the number and relations between domains and domain pairs can be found by grouping the lost operations into left and double cosets.

A kinetic study of the exsolution of pentlandite (Ni, Fe)9S8 from the monosulfide solid solution (Fe, Ni)S

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the kinetics of exsolution of pentlandite from the monosulfide solid solution (mss) using a series of anneal/quench and in situ cooling neutron diffraction experiments.

Towards a kinetic model for the crystallization of magma bodies

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the classic Johnson-Mehl-Avrami expression for the rate of crystallization of nucleation and growth-controlled reactions combined with the heat flow equation including a term for the release of latent heat.
