Abstract

A theoretical investigation of the statistics of nucleation of the next whisker-nanocrystal layer in the monocentric mode is performed. It is shown that anticorrelation of nucleation processes because of a small nanodrop size suppresses Poisson’s scatter in the length of whisker nanocrystals. The dependence of the variance of whisker nanocrystals in length on the rate of their growth and their radius is obtained.
