Architected materials can actively respond to external stimuli—such as mechanical forces,
hydration and magnetic fields—by changing their geometries and thereby achieve novel …

The improvement of the experimental methods for investigating surface processes changes
the existing ideas about the role of the different factors of the gas-solid system and the …

For the statistical mechanics of many-body systems Monte Carlo methods have become a
well-established tool. A particularly popular application is the study of statics and dynamics …

A novel Monte Carlo procedure is applied to the study of the kinetics of grain growth in two
dimensions. The model employed maps the microstructure onto a discrete lattice. Each …

The microstructures produced by the grain growth simulation technique described in the
previous paper are analyzed. The grain size distribution function is found to be time invariant …

Monte-Carlo Method in Statistical Physics KURT BINDER XXXVI Springer Page 2 Topics in …

A review of the dynamics of phase separation is presented, which focuses on the scaling
assumption of the problem. Conventional linear and nonlinear theories are briefly reviewed …

Monte Carlo computer simulation techniques have been utilized to investigate abnormal
grain growth in a two dimensional matrix. The growth of abnormally large grains is modelled …

We develop two-dimensional vertex models which are expected to capture the essential
ingredients of the long-time behaviour of two-dimensional grain growth and permit efficient …

A Monte Carlo computer simulation technique, in which a continuum system is modeled
employing a discrete lattice, has been applied to the problem of recrystallization. Primary …
