What was discovered
An equation describing the kinetics of phase transformation in solids at constant temperature, particularly crystallization, derived in a series of papers between 1937 and 1941 by Kolmogorov, Johnson, Mehl and Avrami independently.
What it led to
- Standard model for the kinetic study of material crystallization
- Application to other phase transformations and chemical reactions
- Extension to the analysis of ecological and growth systems
