Lateral Deformation of Diffusion Couples

April 1, 2005
Author(s)
William J. Boettinger, Geoffrey B. McFadden, Sam R. Coriell, R F. Sekerka, James A. Warren
A model is proposed to describe the shape change (displacement field) of a binary diffusion couple when the intrinsic (lattice) diffusivities of the two substitutional atomic species differ. As for the Kirkendall effect, the displacement is due the

Contribution to the Zn-Rich Part of the Zn-Zr Phase Diagram

August 11, 2004
Author(s)
Maureen E. Williams, William J. Boettinger, Ursula R. Kattner
The reaction of zinc vapor with Zircaloy-4 and nuclear grade zirconium was investigated with various analytical techniques: optical metallography, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and X-ray diffraction. Based on

Phase Field Modeling of Solidification Under Stress

July 1, 2004
Author(s)
Julia Slutsker, Alexander L. Roytburd, James A. Warren, Geoffrey B. McFadden, William J. Boettinger
A phase-field model that includes stress field during non-isothermal solidification of a one-component system has been developed. The model has been applied to solidification and melting of confined spherical volumes. It has been shown that at some

Combinatorial Investigation of Structural Quality of Au/Ni Contacts on GaN

June 1, 2004
Author(s)
Albert Davydov, Leonid A. Bendersky, William J. Boettinger, Daniel Josell, Mark D. Vaudin, C S. Chang, Ichiro Takeuchi
A combinatorial library of Au/Ni metalizations on GaN were microstructurally characterized by x-ray diffraction (XRD), electron back-scattered diffraction (EBSD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The array of single- and bi-layered metal elements

Phase-Field Modeling for Eutectic Solidification

April 1, 2004
Author(s)
Jonathan E. Guyer, William J. Boettinger, James A. Warren, Geoffrey B. McFadden
A diffuse interface (phase field) model for a simple electrochemical system is developed. We describe the minimal set of components needed to model an electrochemical interface and present a Lagrangian derivation of te governing equations. With a simple

Phase-Field Models for Eutectic Solidification

April 1, 2004
Author(s)
D J. Lewis, T Pusztai, L Granasy, James A. Warren, William J. Boettinger
This article discusses two methods for modeling eutectic solidification using the phase-field approach. First, the multi-phase field model is used to study the three-dimensional morphological evolution of binary eutectics. Performing the calculations in

Phase Field Modeling of Electrochemistry. I. Equilibrium

February 1, 2004
Author(s)
Jonathan E. Guyer, William J. Boettinger, James A. Warren, Geoffrey B. McFadden
A diffuse interface (phase field) model for an electrochemical system is developed. We describe the minimal set of components needed to model an electrochemical interface and present a variational derivation of the governing equations. With a simple set of

Phase Field Modeling of Electrochemistry. II. Kinetics

February 1, 2004
Author(s)
Jonathan E. Guyer, William J. Boettinger, James A. Warren, Geoffrey B. McFadden
The kinetic behavior of the phase field model described in (J.E. Guyer, W.J. Boettinger, J.A. Warren and G. B. McFadden, Phase field modeling of electrochemistry: Equilibrium, unpublished) is explored for advancing (plating) and receding (corroding)

Databases for Computational Thermodynamics and Diffusion Modeling

October 1, 2003
Author(s)
Ursula R. Kattner, J E. Morral, William J. Boettinger
tabases for computational thermodynamics and diffusion modeling can be applied to the prediction of phase diagrams and microstructural evolution. These can be used for alloy and process design as well as to improve modeling capabilities that would decrease

Three Dimensional Phase Field Modeling of Binary Eutectics

May 1, 2003
Author(s)
D J. Lewis, William J. Boettinger, James A. Warren
A multi-phase field model was used to study the three-dimensional dynamics of morphology evolution in binary eutectics. Performing the calculations in three dimensions enables the study of the transition from rod-like to lamellar morphology and the study
