Phase Field Theory in Materials Physics

Más información sobre el libro

Focusing on the hodograph equation's application in phase transformations, this book explores crystallization and solidification in condensed matter. It interprets phase-field equations for both isotropic and anisotropic interfaces, utilizing advanced Gibbs-Thomson and Herring conditions. Starting with foundational concepts of extended irreversible thermodynamics, it develops a kinetic phase-field model that accommodates both slow and rapid phase transformations, culminating in a unified hodograph equation.
