A theory for s o l i d - s t a t e d i s p l a c e m e n t r e a c t i o n s was p r e s e n t e d in the p r e c e d i n g p a p e r . 1 A c r i t e r i o n was developed to p r e d i c t whether the p r o d u c t zone would have a l a y e r e d or a g g r e g a t e morphology, and the p r e dicted m o r p h o l o g i e s of s e v e r a l r e a c t i o n couples were c o m p a r e d with e x p e r i m e n t a l r e s u l t s . It was found that the p r o d u c t s of the a g g r e g a t e morphology could e x i s t in e i t h e r a l a m e l l a r or i n t e r w o v e n f o r m . The p u r p o s e of the p r e s e n t p a p e r is to p r e s e n t a model for the growth k i n e t i c s of p r o d u c t zones which exhibit a l a m e l l a r - a g g r e g a t e morphology, and to apply this model to the F e / C u 2 0 d i s p l a c e m e n t r e a c t i o n . THEORETICAL ANALYSIS If the r a t e of m i g r a t i o n of O (oxygen in solid s o l u t i o n in M) through M were the r a t e - c o n t r o l l i n g step in a p r e s u p p o s e d s e r i e s a r r a n g e m e n t of M and MevO, then the p r o d u c t zone of the s o l i d - s t a t e d i s p l a c e m e n t r e a c tion

should have one of the a g g r e g a t e p r o d u c t m o r p h o l o gies. x The larnellar-aggregate p r o d u c t m o r p h o l o g y c o m p r i s e s two zones (see Fig. 7 of Ref. 1). One is a two-phase zone which e x i s t s a d j a c e n t to the r e a c t a n t Me and c o n s i s t s of l a m e l l a e of MevO in a m a t r i x of M. The other zone is a l a y e r of M which e x i s t s b e t w e e n the t w o - p h a s e zone and the r e a c t a n t MxO. The MevO l a m e l l a e grow at the b o u n d a r y between the two p r o d u c t zones as a r e s u l t of the s i m u l t a n e o u s a r r i v a l at this b o u n d a r y of Me c a t i o n s through MevO and of oxygen a t o m s through M. The b o u n d a r y between the two p r o d uct zones will be r e f e r r e d to as the reaction front. The M l a y e r is f o r m e d at the M/MxO i n t e r f a c e through the d e c o m p o s i t i o n of MxO. The q u a n t i t a t i v e t h e o r y for the GREGORY J. YUREK, ROBERT A.
