Phase-field-crystal models and mechanical equilibrium.
Phase-field-crystal (PFC) models constitute a field theoretical approach to solidification, melting, and related phenomena at atomic length and diffusive time scales. One of the advantages of these models is that they naturally contain elastic excitations associated with strain in crystalline bodies. However, instabilities that are diffusively driven towards equilibrium are often orders of magn...
متن کاملPhase-Field Models
Phase-field models have become popular in recent years to describe a host of free-boundary problems in various areas of research. The key point of the phase-field approach is that surfaces and interfaces are implicitly described by continuous scalar fields that take constant values in the bulk phases and vary continuously but steeply across a diffuse front. In the present contribution, a distin...
متن کاملThermodynamics of bcc metals in phase-field-crystal models.
We examine the influence of different forms of the free-energy functionals used in the phase-field-crystal (PFC) model, and compare them with the second-order density-functional theory (DFT) of freezing, by using bcc iron as an example case. We show that there are large differences between the PFC and the DFT and it is difficult to obtain reasonable parameters for existing PFC models directly f...
متن کاملRapidly Converging Phase Field Models via Second Order Asymptotics
We consider phase field models with the objective of approximating sharp interface models. By using second order asymptotics in the interface thickness parameter, ε, we develop models in which the order ε term is eliminated, suggesting more rapid convergence to the ε = 0 (sharp interface) limit. In addition we use non-smooth potentials with a non-zero gradient at the roots. These changes result...
متن کاملInterfacial Dynamics For Thermodynamically Consistent Phase-Field Models With Nonconserved Order Parameter
We study certain approximate solutions of a system of equations formulated in an earlier paper (Physica D 43 44–62 (1990)) which in dimensionless form are ut + γw(φ)t = ∇u, α φt = ∇φ+ F (φ, u), where u is (dimensionless) temperature, φ is an order parameter, w(φ) is the temperature– independent part of the energy density, and F involves the φ–derivative of the free-energy density. The constants...
