Nucleation and Growth The random motion of atoms and vacancies in solids, liquids, and gases areassociated with atomic collisions that may give rise to the formation of smallembryos or clusters of ... the rate of grain growth is inverselyproportional to the curvature of the grain boundaries, and that the curva-ture itself is inversely proportional to the grain diameter.
