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 …

Although several strategies (including grain refinement, texture adjustment, precipitation
hardening, etc.) have been verified to effectively improve the mechanical properties of …

CASM is a software package that enables first-principles based studies of crystalline
materials. It has been designed to treat coupled chemical, mechanical, vibrational, and …

Alloying Mg with rare-earth elements, such as Nd, Gd, or Y, enables hardening from the
precipitation of metastable coherent phases during aging at low temperatures. While the …

Mesoscale modeling and simulation approaches provide a bridge from atomic-scale
methods to the macroscale. The phase field (PF) method has emerged as a powerful and …

A new phase-field modeling framework with an emphasis on performance, flexibility, and
ease of use is presented. Foremost among the strategies employed to fulfill these objectives …

The effects of different Zn addition (0, 0.2, 0.5, 1.0 wt%) on the microstructure and
mechanical properties of cast Mg–1Nd–1Ce–Zr alloy in as-cast, solution-treated and 200° C …

Magnesium (Mg) has the lowest density of all structural metals and has excellent potential
for wide use in structural applications. While pure Mg has inferior mechanical properties; the …

The growth of uranium dendrites has been one of the critical issues in the electrorefining of
spent nuclear fuel for several decades. However, a comprehensive description of uranium …
