TLDR
In this article, the authors reviewed the application of the phase-field method in different fields of materials science, including elastic interactions and fluid flow in multi-grain multi-phase structures in multicomponent materials.
Abstract
The phase-field method is reviewed against its historical and theoretical background. Starting from Van der Waals considerations on the structure of interfaces in materials the concept of the phase-field method is developed along historical lines. Basic relations are summarized in a comprehensive way. Special emphasis is given to the multi-phase-field method with extension to elastic interactions and fluid flow which allows one to treat multi-grain multi-phase structures in multicomponent materials. Examples are collected demonstrating the applicability of the different variants of the phase-field method in different fields of materials science.

Materials discovery and design using machine learning

TL;DR: In this paper, the typical mode of and basic procedures for applying machine learning in materials science are outlined and compared, and the current research status is reviewed with regard to applications of ML in material property prediction, in new materials discovery and for other purposes.

Thermodynamically-consistent phase-field models for solidification

TL;DR: In this article, a class of phase-field models for crystallization of a pure substance from its melt are presented, which are based on an entropy functional, and are therefore thermodynamically consistent inasmuch as they guarantee spatially local positive entropy production.

Phase field modeling of defects and deformation

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reviewed new perspectives on the phase field approach in modeling deformation and fracture at the fundamental defect level, including the ability to predict fundamental properties of individual defects such as size, formation energy, saddle point configuration and activation energy of defect nuclei, and the micromechanisms of their mutual interactions.

Free Energy of a Nonuniform System. I. Interfacial Free Energy

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the thickness of the interface increases with increasing temperature and becomes infinite at the critical temperature Tc, and that at a temperature T just below Tc the interfacial free energy σ is proportional to (T c −T) 3 2.

Reciprocal Relations in Irreversible Processes. II.

TL;DR: In this article, a general reciprocal relation applicable to transport processes such as the conduction of heat and electricity, and diffusion, is derived from the assumption of microscopic reversibility, and certain average products of fluctuations are considered.

Phase-Field Models for Microstructure Evolution

TL;DR: The phase-field method has recently emerged as a powerful computational approach to modeling and predicting mesoscale morphological and microstructure evolution in materials as discussed by the authors, which is able to predict the evolution of arbitrary morphologies and complex microstructures without explicitly tracking the positions of interfaces.
