1. Experimental analytical monitoring of kinetics

How can we access the transformation rates of solids, as explained in the [AF 3 688] file? It's not an obvious problem, since the transition from the atomic scale to the real solid still requires indirect methods. Thermogravimetry, which measures changes in the mass of a solid brought up to a high temperature, is an old-fashioned method that is still essential for tracking velocities. But knowledge of materials, their morphology, the nature of their impurities... plays an increasingly important role in recent years. What's more, the rapid development of analytical techniques...
