Microstructural Evolution and Interfacial Motion in Systems with Diffusion Barriers. Final Report. (July 1, 1999-June 30, 2007)

摘要

This research program was designed to model and simulate phase transformations in systems containing diffusion barriers. The modeling work included mass flow, phase formation, and microstructural evolution in interdiffusing systems. Simulation work was done by developing Cahn-Hilliard and phase field equations governing both the temporal and spatial evolution of the composition and deformation fields and other important phase variables.
