This work is a review of two density changes common in UO 2 nuclear fuel: sintering and
irradiation-enhanced densification. These density changes must be understood in order to …

Grain growth and grain boundary migrations are microscopic manifestations of the sintering
process which have been widely studied by experiments and computational simulations. We …

The simulation temperature in the Monte Carlo Potts model of grain growth is not correlated
to any real experimental temperature and has been introduced into the simulation purely to …

The grain size (GS) effect on the electric field dependence of the dielectric constant in
ferroelectric nanoceramics was studied using a detailed model and the predicted behavior …

In this paper an approach modifying the standard Monte Carlo Potts model algorithm is
presented. It is revealed that modifications of the mobility of grain boundaries and their …

Grain boundary types and local boundary curvatures are generally considered to be
important microstructural factors controlling grain boundary migration during grain growth. In …

In this paper, a modified Monte Carlo model considering two types of topological
transformations of the grain growth is proposed to simulate the microstructure evolution of …

In the present study, an algorithm, combining the Potts model based Monte Carlo (MC) and
finite element methods, is developed in order to predict the dynamic recrystallization of tin in …

Grain growth in two-and three-dimensional nanocrystalline materials is modeled by
modifying the Monte Carlo Potts method based on the assumption that grain boundaries as …

In the present paper the effect of the initial microstructure on the coarsening kinetics of
normal grain growth is investigated. To that aim, two microstructures characterized by two …
