<p> This thesis is concerned with the cooperative growth problem of
the discontinuous precipitation reaction. Previous theories are examined,
and the kinetic details of a model, which assumes the existence of a
metastable monotectoid reaction and the adherence & local equilibrium,
are derived. As with other attempt to describe the parameters of duplex
growth situations we cannot find a unique relation between the rate of
growth and the lamellar spacing. The various optimal or variational
procedures used to remove this degree of freedom are considered. The
Cu-In system is subject to quantitative experimental study, and the
extent of interference of the concurrent general precipitation reaction
is determined. Finally the kinetic data and auxiliary information are
used to test the various theories. </p> / Thesis / Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)
