Relationship between the growth rates of a perturbation on a spherical surface (dδ l /dt) and wavelength λ l . The growth rate reaches a maximum value with increasing wavelength. The growth rate and wavelength are calculated using Eqs. 6 and 7 assuming an interfacial energy γ = 1.0 J/m2, C – c R ⋍ 1/Ω, molar volume Ω = 1.2 × 10−4 m3/mole, a capillary length Γ D = 0.016 μm, a diffusion coefficient D = 10−19 m2/s, an equilibrium concentration of the RLC c eq = 10−4 mole/m3, and a radius of the growing product R g = 650 μm
