Competition between Surface Energy and Elastic Anisotropies in the Growth of Coherent Solid State Dendrites
Michael Greenwood, Jeffrey J. Hoyt, Nikolas Provatas
A new phase field model of microstructural evolution is presented that includes the effects of elastic strain energy. The model's thin interface behavior is investigated by mapping…

Ginzburg-Landau theory of crystalline anisotropy for bcc-liquid interfaces
Kuo-An Wu, Alain Karma, Jeffrey J. Hoyt +1
The weak anisotropy of the interfacial free-energy is a crucial parameter influencing dendritic crystal growth morphologies in systems with atomically rough solid-liquid interf…

Modeling metallic island coalescence stress via adhesive contact between surfaces
Steven C. Seel, Jeffrey J. Hoyt, Edmund B. Webb +1
Tensile stress generation associated with island coalescence is almost universally observed in thin films that grow via the Volmer-Weber mode. The commonly accepted mechanism for t…
