Particle size distributions during diffusion controlled growth and coarsening

Theoretical analysis of particle growth and coarsening conducted in the present work, which includes stochastic (random) flux of a solute inside/from the growing particles, predicts normal distribution of the particle sizes, independent of the particle volume fraction. This result agrees well with the numerous experimental data and it solves a long-time problem related with a non-symmetrical size distribution in earlier Lifshitz–Slyozov–Wagner theory.
