It is shown that the presented mathematical model, which uses an index called the entropic index that measures the nonextensivity of the physical system, successfully deals with the nucleation and growth processes, and works better than Johnson-Mehl-Avrami-Kolmogorov model. The presented model also contains Austin-Rickett model as a special case. © 2006.EnglishFilm growthInterfaces (computer)Mathematical modelsNucleationAustin-Rickett modelKineticsThin layerTsallis thermostatisticsThin filmsArticle10.1016/j.physa.2006.10.075
