Abstract

In the present work we analyze the growth history of individual grains and grain boundary junctions. Based on a mean-field theory this enables us to calculate from stochastic fluctuations of individual junctions during grain growth the average growth law of the ensemble of grains, which we find to be in very good agreement with the growth law simulated by the Monte Carlo Potts model.
