Field Theoretic Method in Phase Transformations

Field Theoretic Method in Phase Transformations by Alexander Umantsev.

The continuum, field theoretic method of study of phase transformations in material systems, also known as "phase field", allows one to analyze different stages of transformations on the unified platform. It has received significant attention in the materials science community recently due...
