Theory of Ostwald ripening in open systems: unifying Lifshitz-Slezov-Wagner and Family-Vicsek scaling approaches
Abstract
We study the size distributions (SDs) of two- and three-dimensional nuclei (d=2,3) in the Ostwald ripening (OR) stage in open systems. The size-dependent attachment rates and the time-dependent total amount of monomers are taken in the power-law forms, with indices α and β, respectively. The OR occurs when β
