Here, we review the basic concepts and applications of the phase-field-crystal (PFC)
method, which is one of the latest simulation methodologies in materials science for …

We review how phase-field models contributed to the understanding of various aspects of
crystal nucleation, including homogeneous and heterogeneous processes, and their role in …

Transition metal nitrides (TMNs) have great potential use in energy storage and conversion
owing to tunable electronic and bonding characteristics. Novel iron rich nitrides …

The effect of separator pore size on lithium dendrite growth is assessed through the use of
the phase field method (PFM). Dendrites are found to undergo concurrent electrodeposition …

Spatial localization is a common feature of physical systems, occurring in both conservative
and dissipative systems. This article reviews the theoretical foundations of our …

A review surveying the developments in the application of the phase-field method in the
study of phase transitions and microstructure evolution in multi-component systems is …

Advances in the orientation-field-based phase-field (PF) models made in the past are
reviewed. The models applied incorporate homogeneous and heterogeneous nucleation of …

We apply a simple dynamical density functional theory, the phase-field crystal (PFC) model
of overdamped conservative dynamics, to address polymorphism, crystal nucleation, and …

The conserved Swift-Hohenberg equation with cubic nonlinearity provides the simplest
microscopic description of the thermodynamic transition from a fluid state to a crystalline …

A 3D phase-field model for grain growth combined with a grain boundary (GB) energy
database is proposed. The phase-field model is applied to a grain growth simulation of …
