Abstract
The effects of decaying sources have been examined with regard to the time dependence of the critical and mean dimensions of islands of spherical-segment or cylindrical forms for various modes of diffusion transport; the same has been done for the number per unit area and the supersaturation. The size distribution of the islands has also been determined.
