The purpose of the current work is the development of a phase field model for dislocation
dissociation, slip and stacking fault formation in single crystals amenable to determination …

A well-designed study of the relationship between crystal nucleation and relaxation in
supercooled liquids could clarify some critical issues in condensed matter science. In this …

Abstract The Kobayashi–Warren–Carter (KWC) phase-field model was originally conceived
for two-dimensional systems to model grain boundary migration and grain rotation, which …

The ternary alloy of germanium, antimony, and tellurium (GST) is widely used as a material
for phase-change memories. In particular, the stoichiometric compound Ge 2 Sb 2 Te 5 …

We present a combined ab initio and classical molecular dynamics study of the stability and
structure of the two B19′ compound twin boundaries in NiTi:(100) and (001). The role of …

We carry out phase field modeling as a continuum simulation technique in order to study
rapid crystallization processes in the phase-change material AIST (Ag4In3Sb67Te26). In …

Additive manufacturing (AM) techniques based on laser melting of metal powders are
experiencing tremendous growth and are rapidly becoming the preferred processing …

We report a novel mechanism for explosive crystallization in amorphous germanium (a-Ge),
which operates through liquid-mediated nucleation occurring under extreme thermal …

The crystallization of amorphous Ge layers grown at room temperature was investigated
using continuous-wave green laser irradiation. The most favorable crystallization conditions …

Crystal growth rates during laser-induced, liquid-mediated crystallization of amorphous Ge
were measured with movie-mode dynamic transmission electron microscopy (MM-DTEM), a …
