Quantitative phase-field model for phase transformations in multi-component alloys (Schriftenreihe des Instituts fuer Angewandte Materialien, Karlsruher Institut fuer Technologie)

Phase-field modeling has spread to a variety of applications involving phase transformations. While the method has wide applicability, derivation of quantitative predictions requires deeper understanding of the coupling between the system and model parameters. The book highlights a novel phase-field model based on a grand-potential formalism allowing for an elegant and efficient solution to problems in phase transformations.
