Abstract: A theory for Ostwald ripening in two dimensions is presented. Using a many-body approach, we show the existence of a screening length which had been previously assumed by Marqusee (J. Chem. Phys. 81 (1984) 976) in two-dimensional diffusion-controlled growth processes. We also confirm that the growth law of the critical droplet radius in our model is given by Rc(t)∼t13.
