The solution satisfies the conservation of mass and is rigorously found without use of any approximations, unlike past studies. The expression for the growth of the two cylindrical particles shows that the length of the neck increases with the fifth power of time., 論文}, pages = {257--263}, title = {Analysis of the initial stage of sintering in pure materials by surface diffusion}, volume = {79}, year = {1999} }
