We are concerned with a nonstandard phase field model of Cahn-Hilliard type. The model, which was introduced by Podio-Guidugli (Ric. Mat. 2006), describes two-species phase segregation and consists of a system of two highly nonlinearly…
A multi-phase field model is employed to study the microstructural evolution of an alloy undergoing liquid dealloying. The model proposed extends upon the original approach of Geslin et al. to consider dealloying in the presence of grain…
In this paper we study a crystal surface model first proposed by H.~Al Hajj Shehadeh, R.V.~Kohn, and J.~Weare (2011 Physica D, 240,1771-1784). By seeking a solution of a particular function form, we are led to a boundary value problem for a…

In this paper we analyze a class of phase field models for the dynamics of phase transitions which extend the well-known Caginalp and Penrose-Fife models. Existence and uniqueness of the solution to the related initial boundary value…
The description of surface-diffusion controlled dynamics via the phase-field method is less trivial than it appears at first sight. A seemingly straightforward approach from the literature is shown to fail to produce the correct…
This paper deals with a conserved phase field system that couples the energy balance equation with a Cahn--Hilliard type system including temperature and the inertial term for the order parameter. In the case without inertial term, the…

To study materials phenomena simultaneously at various length scales, descriptions in which matter can be coarse grained to arbitrary levels, are necessary. Attempts to do this in the static regime (i.e. zero temperature) have already been…
