Crystallization is largely over when  reaches values close to 1, which will be at a crystallization time  defined by  , as then the exponential term in the above expression for  will be small. Thus crystallization takes a time of order
i.e., crystallization takes a time that decreases as one over the one-quarter power of the nucleation rate per unit volume, , and one over the three-quarters power of the growth velocity . Typical crystallites grow for some fraction of the crystallization time  and so have a linear dimension , or
i.e., the one quarter power of the ratio of the growth velocity to the nucleation rate per unit volume. Thus the size of the final crystals only depends on this ratio, within this model, and as we should expect, fast growth rates and slow nucleation rates result in large crystals. The average volume of the crystallites is of order this typical linear size cubed.
This all assumes an exponent of , which is appropriate for the uniform (homogeneous) nucleation in three dimensions. Thin films, for example, may be effectively two-dimensional, in which case if nucleation is again uniform the exponent . In general, for uniform nucleation and growth, , where  is the dimensionality of space in which crystallization occurs.
