Abstract
The present theory of Ostwald ripening predicts that the aging rate of a precipitate as well as the shape of its size distribution asymptotically approach a stationary state. These predictions have to be corrected insofar as it is not an asymptotical approach, but instead a quasistationary behavior during a limited time interval of the precipitation. This range of validity depends strongly on the kinetics of the precipitation, i.e. on the initial size distribution and the growth mechanism.Keywords
