Phase-field-crystal models for condensed matter dynamics on atomic length and diffusive time scales: an overview
Phase-field-crystal models for condensed matter dynamics on atomic length and diffusive time scales: an overview
Here, we review the basic concepts and applications of the phase-field-crystal (PFC) method, which is one of the latest simulation methodologies in materials science for problems, where atomic- and microscales are tightly coupled. The PFC method operates on atomic length and diffusive time scales, and thus constitutes a computationally efficient …
