Controlling solute trapping and solute drag in a phase-field model

March 16, 2023
Author(s)
Arnab Mukherjee, James A. Warren
The finite solid-liquid interface width in phase-field models results in non-equilibrium effects, including solute trapping. Prior phase field modeling has shown that this extra degree of freedom, when compared to sharp-interface models, results in solute

Chandler A. Becker, James A. Warren
Materials researchers are generating data in ever-increasing volumes, and this data is, in turn, fueling the discovery and design of new materials. These changes are enabled by advances in data capture via laboratory information management systems (LIMS)

Polycrystalline Growth: Dirt Versus Dynamical Heterogeneity

October 12, 2021
Author(s)
L Granasy, T Pusztai, T Borzsonyi, James A. Warren, Jack F. Douglas
Most research into microstructure formation during solidification has focused on single crystal growth forms, ranging from faceted crystals to dendritic growth patterns. However, these growth forms can be peturbed by heterogeneities yielding a rich variety
