Rapid advances in atomistic and phase-field modeling techniques as well as new
experiments have led to major progress in solidification science during the first years of this …

Reducing the sizes of low dimensional materials leads to dramatic increase in the portion of
surface/interface atoms. The properties of a solid are essentially controlled by related …

We investigate the application of embedded atom method (EAM) interatomic potentials in
the study of crystallization kinetics from deeply undercooled melts, focusing on the fcc metals …

Crystal-melt interfacial free energies (γ) are computed for hcp Mg by employing equilibrium
molecular-dynamics (MD) simulations and the capillary-fluctuation method (CFM). This work …

Dendritic crystal growth patterns have fascinated scientists for several centuries. Much of the
aesthetic appeal of these patterns stems from the hierarchical structure of primary …

Applications of cast irons, from mundane to more challenging, are decided by the
morphology of free graphite in the metallic matrix. The morphology changes from flake to …

Molecular-dynamics simulations have been used to compute thermodynamic and kinetic
properties of the solid-liquid interface for both the fcc and bcc phases of Fe. Pure Fe was …

We investigate the equilibrium properties of bcc-liquid interfaces modeled with a continuum
phase-field crystal (PFC) approach [KR Elder and M. Grant, Phys. Rev. E 70, 051605 …

Different approaches are analyzed for construction of semi-empirical potentials for binary
alloys, focusing specifically on the capability of these potentials to describe solid–liquid …

High fidelity simulations of grain formation in alloys are an indispensable tool for process-to-
mechanical-properties characterization. Such simulations, however, can be computationally …
