Classical dynamical density functional theory (DDFT) is one of the cornerstones of modern
statistical mechanics. It is an extension of the highly successful method of classical density …

In the past few years, binary colloidal crystals (BCCs) composed of both large and small
particles have attracted considerable attention from the scientific community as an exciting …

We discuss an active phase field crystal (PFC) model that describes a mixture of active and
passive particles. First, a microscopic derivation from dynamical density functional theory is …

In this paper, we consider numerical approximations for the two-component PFC models for
binary colloidal crystals. In addition to the Cahn–Hilliard type two-component PFC model …

TiSiN nanocomposite coatings have exceptional strength, toughness, and corrosion
resistance due to their unique biphase amorphous/nanocrystalline structure with tiny TiN …

We study the dynamical behavior of the mean-square displacement of height fluctuations of
freestanding graphene using a phase-field-crystal model introduced recently. We find that …

We show that one can employ well-established numerical continuation methods to efficiently
calculate the phase diagram for thermodynamic systems described by a suitable free energy …

In this paper, a two-dimensional phase field crystal model of graphene and hexagonal boron
nitride (hBN) is extended to include out-of-plane deformations in stacked multilayer systems …

Effects of three-point direct correlation on properties of the phase field crystal (PFC)
modeling are examined for the control of various ordered and disordered phases and their …

The dynamical mechanisms underlying the grain evolution and growth are of fundamental
importance in controlling the structural properties of large-scale polycrystalline materials, but …
