Kinetics of phase transitions

Kinetics of phase transitions describes how quickly and the manner in which materials change from one state, like solid, liquid, or gas, to another. This process involves atoms or molecules rearranging their positions, which takes time. Factors like temperature, pressure, and material structure influence the speed and pathway of the transition. Understanding these kinetics helps predict material behavior during processes like cooling, heating, or deformation, enabling better control in manufacturing and applications where precise phase control is important.
