Phase-field (PF) models are one of the most powerful tools to simulate microstructural
evolution in metallic materials, polymers, and ceramics. However, existing PF approaches …

We use 3D phase-field simulations to investigate the role of deposition rates and atomic
mobilities on morphological self-structuring in phase-separating, vapor-deposited alloys …

A rich variety of self-organized nanoscale patterns evolve during physical vapor deposition
of phase-separating alloy films. However, our limited understanding of the fundamental …

Electromigration damage due to void propagation in thin films has garnered much attention
due to its implications for efficient design of interconnects. Voids can drift along the line …

Electromigration (EM)-induced diffusional transport of metal atoms, which can manifest as
the defects of grain boundary slits and voids in a metal line, often fail an entire electronic …

We propose a fast and robust scheme for the direct minimization of the Ohta--Kawasaki
energy that characterizes the microphase separation of diblock copolymer melts. The …

We report on the electromigration-induced morphological evolution of islands (vacancies,
precipitates, and homoepitaxial adatom clusters) using a phase-field method with high …

We study the transformation of austenite to ferrite under the influence of Grain-Boundary
(GB) diffusion. In order to simulate identical level of penetration of solute through GB as …

Symmetric block-copolymers, hitherto, are well known to evolve into parallel, perpendicular
and mixed lamellar morphologies under the concomitant influence of an electric field and …

We develop a phase-field model, integrating both micromagnetic and microelastic
approaches. The model can capture the impact of eigen strain, applied stress and elastic …
