Connection between phantom and spatial correlation in the Kolmogorov–Johnson–Mehl–Avrami-model: A brief review

The goal of this minireview is restricted to describe how the theoretical basis Kolmogorov (1937)–Johnson-Mehl (1939) –Avrami (1939–41) model has evolved from its birth up present day. model, which dates back late 1930s, purpose describing kinetics a phase transformation. Given nature article, although there are hundreds (if not thousands) experimental data concerning most disparate topics, interpreted on KJMA no arguments relating these, will be touched upon. Starting ingenious concept phantom nuclei, firstly introduced by Avrami get exact kinetics, we review approaches overcome such concept. We show spatial correlation among nuclei plays fundamental role in these modelings.
