Thermo-Density Coupling in PFC Type Models for the Study of Rapid Crystallization
Gabriel Kocher, Nikolas Provatas
We self-consistently derive a formalism that couples a Phase Field Crystal (PFC) density field to thermal transport. It yields a theory for non-uniform transient temperature and de…

Classical nucleation theory in the phase-field crystal model
Paul Jreidini, Gabriel Kocher, Nikolas Provatas
A full understanding of polycrystalline materials requires studying the process of nucleation, a thermally activated phase transition that typically occurs at atomistic scales. The…

New density functional approach for solid-liquid-vapor transitions in pure materials
Gabriel Kocher, Nikolas Provatas
A new phase field crystal (PFC) type theory is presented, which accounts for the full spectrum of solid-liquid-vapor phase transitions within the framework of a single density orde…
