Temporal evolution of grain size distributions in two-dimensional pinned cells
The distribution of sizes for grain growth in presence of pinning centers (Zener pinned growth) is communicated at different times. The experimental approach uses the well-known similitude between growth in polycrystalline aggregates and cellular soap froths. Two-dimensional results are communicated with grain growth limited by a set of randomly distributed rounded pins.
