Computer Simulation of Phase Decomposition in the Regular Solid Solution based upon the Cahn-Hilliard’s Non-Linear Diffusion Equation

Morphology changes in solder joints––experimental evidence and physical understanding

“…DFT techniques have also been used before to solve phase field Equation such as ((1),(4)- (6)). Particularly noteworthy is the work of the school headed by Khachaturyan (see, e.g., [20][21][22]) and the Japanese group of Miyazaki and co-workers (see, e.g., [23][24][25]). Their studies cover many alloy systems of technical importance, however, they do not address solders.…”

A Unified Poisson-Cahn Methodology for Defect Segregation Near Grain Boundaries in Oxygen-Conducting Solid Electrolytes

“…Typical examples of conserved variables are composition variables like molar fractions or concentrations. Such representations have been widely used for spinodal decomposition [45,46], phase separation of the decomposed structure [47,48,49,50] and precipitation and growth of precipitates [51,52]. Order parameters and phase-fields are examples of non-conserved variables that are used to distinguish coexisting phases with different structures.…”
