Abstract

Most of the physical properties of systems underlying first order phase transitions, I. e. the scattering properties, can be obtained from the spatial correlation functions. For the case of nucleation and growth kinetics it is possible to obtain all the correlation functions from the particle size distribution. In this paper we obtain the spatial correlation functions corresponding to several kinetics; in particular the correlation functions corresponding to the microstructure developed in partitioning transformations are obtained.
