Phase field simulations in ferroelectric materials [PDF]
AbstractThe hindering of domain wall movement by defects in ferroelectric materials is closely connected to electric fatigue. A movable domain wall in a ferroelectric material in most cases is modelled as a singular surface which allows the use of configurational forces.

Phase field simulation of dendritic microstructure in additively manufactured titanium alloy [PDF]
Additive manufacturing (AM) processes for metals, such as selective laser sintering and electron beam melting, involve rapid solidification process. The microstructure of the fabricated material and its properties strongly depend on the solidification ...

Phase field simulation of thermomechanical fracture [PDF]
AbstractIn Francfort and Marigo's variational free‐discontinuity formulation of brittle fracture [1] cracking is regarded as an energy minimization process, where the total energy is minimized with respect to any admissible crack set and displacement field.

Observation of Spin-Orbit Berry's Phase in Magnetoresistance of a Two-Dimensional Hole Anti-dot System [PDF]
We report observation of spin-orbit Berry's phase in the Aharonov-Bohm (AB) type oscillation of weak field magnetoresistance in an anti-dot lattice (ADL) of a two-dimensional hole system. An AB-type oscillation is superposed on the commensurability peak,

Multicomponent alloy solidification: Phase-field modeling and simulations
A general formulation of phase-field models for nonisothermal solidification in multicomponent and multiphase alloy systems is derived from an entropy functional in a thermodynamically consistent way. General expressions for the free energy densities, for multicomponent diffusion coefficients, and for both weak and faceted types of surface energy and ...

Simulation of Intermetallic Solidification Using Phase-Field Techniques [PDF]
We present current ideas towards developing a phase-field model appropriate to the solidification of intermetallic phases. Such simulation presents two main challenges (i) dealing with faceted interfaces and (ii) the complex sub-lattice models used to describe the thermodynamics of such phases. Although models are already existent for the simulation of

Another mean field treatment in the strong coupling limit of lattice QCD [PDF]
We discuss the QCD phase diagram in the strong coupling limit of lattice QCD by using a new type of mean field coming from the next-to-leading order of the large dimensional expansion.
