Abstract
Nucleation and growth are studied in the metastable region of the Glauber-kinetic Ising model with medium-range interactions. Monte Carlo data indicate that the nucleating droplets are not in general compact but quickly become so during the initial phase of growth and then grow as compact droplets. This two-stage growth process is also predicted by a qualitative theory.Keywords
