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 (GBs) are central defects for describing polycrystalline materials, and
playing major role in a wide-range of physical properties of polycrystals. Control over GB …

The phase-field method has recently emerged as the most powerful computational tool for
simulating complicated dendrite growth. However, these simulations are still limited to two …

We summarize recent advances in modeling of solidification microstructures using
computational methods that bridge atomistic to continuum scales. We first discuss progress …

In order to establish a link between various structural and kinetic properties of metals and
the crystal–melt interfacial mobility, free-solidification molecular-dynamics simulations have …

Thermodynamically consistent phase field theory for multivariant martensitic transformations,
which includes large strains and interface stresses, is developed. Theory is formulated in a …

Dendritic growth velocities in an undercooled melt of pure nickel under static magnetic fields
up to 6 T were measured using a high-speed camera. The growth velocities for …

A novel method based on molecular dynamics (MD) is developed to make the kinetic phase-
field (PF) model quantitative in predicting non-equilibrium crystal growth during rapid …

Hot liquid metal drops impacting onto a cold substrate solidify during their subsequent
spreading. Here we experimentally study the influence of solidification on the outcome of an …

During additive manufacturing (AM), velocities of solid–liquid interfaces are on the order of
0. 01− 1 m⋅ s− 1. Thus, local interfacial equilibrium may not be present. Molecular dynamics …
