Liquid-solid systems out of equilibrium: phase-field crystal studies of solidification, melting, and plasticity

Dynamic processes in nonequilibrium liquid-solid systems are studied over mesoscopic time scales and atomistic length scales using phase-field crystal (PFC) models. Various freezing and melting transitions are examined in two and three dimensions, and microscopic phenomena responsible for solid-phase...
