“…The KJMA exponent, n , is defined to contain contributions from the growth dimensionality, λ, and the nucleation type, β, with limiting cases of 0 for instantaneous nucleation (pre-existing nuclei) and 1 for continuous nucleation. − ,, Thus, n = λ + β where 0 ≤ β ≤ 1 and λ = 1, 2, or 3 for 1-, 2-, or 3-D growth, respectively. Given such a specific definition for the KJMA exponent, numerous publications detail reaction mechanisms for crystallization transformations based solely on the KJMA exponent, although many reports caution that kinetic exponents may not reflect the reaction mechanism. ,,,− Numerous experimental manuscripts demonstrate variation of the KJMA exponent with isothermal crystallization temperature, , time, ,,− heating/cooling rate, , and preannealing temperature. − These often are used as evidence that the crystallization mechanism changes over the course of a reaction. While change of mechanism during crystallization is unlikely for congruently melting systems, ,,, such may be possible for noncongruently melting systems where the composition at the crystallization front changes with time. , Consensus has not been reached as to the physical significance of or the consistent conditions under which the KJMA exponent can be correctly interpreted.…”
