Here, we review the basic concepts and applications of the phase-field-crystal (PFC)
method, which is one of the latest simulation methodologies in materials science for …

We review how phase-field models contributed to the understanding of various aspects of
crystal nucleation, including homogeneous and heterogeneous processes, and their role in …

Often the experimentally-observed, single-phase high entropy alloy (HEA) is the result of
second-phase precipitation constrained by thermodynamic and kinetic factors. Using Al 0.3 …

Review of selected fundamental topics on the interaction between phase transformations,
fracture, and other structural changes in inelastic materials is presented. It mostly focuses on …

Thermodynamic Ginzburg-Landau potential for temperature-and stress-induced phase
transformations (PTs) between n phases is developed. It describes each of the PTs with a …

The phenomenon of discontinuous precipitation (DP) leading to the formation of nano-rod
FCC (γ)+ L12 (γ') colonies, has been typically considered deleterious for mechanical …

The main conditions for the thermodynamic potential for multiphase Ginzburg–Landau
theory are formulated for temperature-induced phase transformations (PTs). Theory, which …

In this study, an efficient method will be developed for the phase-field model of multi-
component immiscible phases. The formulation of surface tension requires the interfaces to …

We present a multiphase-field theory for describing pattern formation in multidomain and/or
multicomponent systems. The construction of the free energy functional and the dynamic …

Dynamical density-functional simulations reveal structural aspects of crystal nucleation in
undercooled liquids: The first appearing solid is amorphous, which promotes the nucleation …
