Rapid advances in atomistic and phase-field modeling techniques as well as new
experiments have led to major progress in solidification science during the first years of this …

Rapid solidification is a relevant physical phenomenon in material sciences, whose
theoretical analysis requires going beyond the limits of local equilibrium statistical physics …

Our ability to exploit the benefits of metallic glasses depends on identifying alloys of high
glass-forming ability (GFA). So far, the established empirical correlations of GFA (ref.) are …

From thermodynamical consideration, rather a monotonically increasing crystal growth
velocity with increasing undercooling is expected in the crystallization of liquids, mixtures …

The phase change compound Ge2Sb2Te5 (GST225) is exploited in advanced non-volatile
electronic memories and in neuromorphic devices which both rely on a fast and reversible …

A novel method based on molecular dynamics (MD) is developed to make the kinetic phase-
field (PF) model quantitative in predicting non-equilibrium crystal growth during rapid …

The generation and dissipation of latent heat at the moving solid–liquid boundary during
non-equilibrium molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of crystallization can lead to …

If a liquid is undercooled below its equilibrium melting temperature an excess Gibbs free
energy is created. This gives access to solidification of metastable solids under non …

Thermodynamic driving forces and growth rates in rapid solidification are analysed. Taking
into account the relaxation time of the solute diffusion flux in the model equations, the …

In order to understand the defect trapping during solidification in pure elements, we have
performed molecular dynamics simulations on both aluminum and nickel. We find that …
