Abstract

The growth of a new phase in a one-component system is investigated. The relation between the shape and the velocity of a growing interface is formulated. Explicit dependences of this velocity on transport phenomena across and along the interface are derived by methods of the nonequilibrium thermodynamics of the discontinuity surface. Some special cases are discussed.
