Abstract
This Letter discusses the time development of a system in which small spheres of a stable phase grow out of a supersaturated melt. A study of the growth of pairs of particles in an effective background accounts for two-particle correlations. These correlations broaden the distribution of particle sizes, even for relatively dilute systems, in accord with experiment.Keywords
