Advanced operator-splitting-based semi-implicit spectral method to solve the binary phase-field crystal equations with variable coefficients [PDF]
We present an efficient method to solve numerically the equations of dissipative dynamics of the binary phase-field crystal model proposed by Elder et al. [Phys. Rev. B 75, 064107 (2007)] characterized by variable coefficients.

Dislocation nucleation in the phase-field crystal model [PDF]
We use the phase field crystal model to study nucleation of edge dislocations in two dimensions under an applied stress field. A dislocation dipole nucleates under the applied stress, consistent with Burgers vector conservation. The phase field correctly accounts for elastic energy storage prior to nucleation, and for dissipative relaxation during the ...

Evaluation of the elastic field in phase‐field crystal simulations
AbstractThe phase‐field crystal model (PFC) describes crystal structures at diffusive timescales through a periodic order parameter representing the atomic density. One of its main features is that it naturally incorporates elastic and plastic deformation.

Phase field study on crystal orientation effects in eutectoid phase transformation [PDF]
In this present work, a multi-phase field model was used to simulate the eutectoid transformation process, and on the basis of the nucleation model that was previously proposed by our research team, anisotropic and orientation relationship models were ...

Phase-Field Crystals with Elastic Interactions [PDF]
We report on a novel extension of the recent phase-field crystal (PFC) method introduced in [Elder et al., Phys. Rev. Lett., Vol. 88, 245701:1-4 (2002)], which incorporates elastic interactions as well as crystal plasticity and diffusive dynamics. In our model, elastic interactions are mediated through wave modes that propagate on time scales many ...

Evaluation of Nanoscale Deformation Fields from Phase Field Crystal Simulations
Different methods for evaluation of displacement and strain fields based on phase field crystal (PFC) simulations are shown. Methods originally devised for molecular dynamics (MD) simulations or analysis of high-resolution microscopy images are adapted ...

Crystal field splitting and spontaneous polarization in InP crystal phase quantum dots
Crystal phase quantum dots are formed by vertically stacking zinc-blende and wurtzite phases during nanowire growth. In this work, we show, using an atomistic many-body approach, that crystal field splitting in the wurtzite phase, as well as spontaneous ...

Improved Polymer Crystal Phase Field Model and Numerical Simulation
The existing phase field model of polymer crystallization contains many parameters that lack actual physical meaning. Although the value of these parameters can be adjusted to obtain results consistent with the experiment, it cannot correspond to the ...
