The growth of lamellar structure during discontinuous precipitation occurs frequently by so-called go-and-stop fashion. The results of simulation combined with the changes of Cahn’s parameter C revealed two types of such motion. The process takes place in the successive stages which can be distinguished judging from the value of C parameter. For lower values of linear growth rate (v = 10÷20 nm/s) and smaller α lamella thickness (100÷200 nm), the full cycle with relaxation takes 4–6 s. The faster movement of the reaction front (v = 30 nm/s) resulted in dramatic decrease of the full cycle to τtotal = 0.8 s. The same behavior is observed if the α lamella thickness increases beyond 200 nm at constant v equal to 10 nm/s. Both predicted types of go-and-stop motion can experimentally be observed during growth or dissolution of discontinuous precipitates. What is the reason that particular type prevails is unknown, and this is invitation for further studies especially using high-resolution transmission electron microscope operating in in situ mode.
