We briefly review the state-of-the-art in phase-field modeling of microstructure evolution. The
focus is placed on recent applications of phase-field simulations of solid-state microstructure …

Grain boundaries in polycrystalline materials migrate to reduce the total excess energy. It
has recently been found that the factors governing migration rates of boundaries in bicrystals …

Abstract Al-Cu-Mg alloys, as the most widely used lightweight structural materials, have
been recognized as promising candidates in the transportation field for a low-carbon …

Dielectric materials have attracted considerable attention owing to their excellent power
densities and fast charge/discharge characteristics. AgNbO 3, as a typical antiferroelectric …

In this paper, we present the results of grain growth simulations in three-dimensions using
an existing level set method. Most of the previous grain growth studies have been either …

For over three decades, the front-capturing level-set method has demonstrated its prowess
for the simulation, at the mesoscopic scale, of numerous mechanisms in the context of …

The complex interplay between chemistry, microstructure, and behavior of many
engineering materials has been investigated predominantly by experimental methods …

Anharmonicity in grain boundary (GB) energies for Al is elucidated by employing a
thermodynamic integration method with a high-accuracy artificial-neural-network potential …

In this work, we coated a layer of Y 2 O 3 particles in Hastelloy X (HX) nickel-based
superalloy powder by in situ chemical method and combined with laser powder bed fusion …

A threshold dynamics model of grain growth that accounts for the anisotropy in the grain
boundary energy has been used to simulate experimentally observed grain growth of …
