The nucleation of crystals in liquids is one of nature's most ubiquitous phenomena, playing
an important role in areas such as climate change and the production of drugs. As the early …

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 …

Can completely homogeneous nucleation occur? Large scale molecular dynamics
simulations performed on a graphics-processing-unit rich supercomputer can shed light on …

The mechanisms by which organisms control the stability of amorphous calcium carbonate
(ACC) are yet not fully understood. Previous studies have shown that the intrinsic properties …

The development of classical interatomic potential for iron is a quite demanding task with a
long history background. A new interatomic potential for simulation of iron was created with …

Pulsed laser melting in liquid (PLML) has been developed to fabricate crystalline spherical
submicrometer particles (SMPs) by irradiating lasers onto raw particles dispersed in liquid …

A quasi-2D model of Micro-selective laser melting (μ-SLM) process using molecular
dynamics is developed to investigate the localized melting and solidification of a randomly …

Melt flow drastically changes dendrite morphology during the solidification of pure metals
and alloys. Numerical simulation of dendrite growth in the presence of the melt flow is crucial …

Nucleation and solidification from the undercooled iron melt are investigated from the
atomistic point of view by large-scale molecular dynamics (MD) simulations up to 12 million …

Predicting material's microstructure under new processing conditions is essential in
advanced manufacturing and materials science. This is because the material's …
