Abstract
Analytical expressions for the time-dependent crystallized volume fraction are derived from new results for the transient rate of nucleation reported in Part I. Conventional formulations that have been used in interpreting crystallization experimental data and for assessing the stability of amorphous phases are shown to be large time limits of the newly derived expressions. An approach for assessing the stability of an amorphous phase is proposed.Keywords
