We show that the rate of separation of two phases of different densities (e.g. gas and solid) can be radically altered by the presence of a metastable intermediate phase (e.g. liquid). Within a Cahn-Hilliard theory we study the growth in…
A non-isothermal phase field model that captures both displacive and diffusive phase transformations in a unified framework is presented. The model is developed in a formal thermodynamic setting, which provides guidance on admissible…

We study the d-dimensional Cahn-Hilliard equation on the flat torus in a parameter regime in which the system size is large and the mean value is close---but not too close---to -1. We are particularly interested in a quantitative…
Chiral heteropolymers such as larger globular proteins can simultaneously support multiple length scales. The interplay between different scales brings about conformational diversity, and governs the structure of the energy landscape.…

In this work, we apply phase field simulations to examine the coarsening behavior of morphologically complex two-phase microstructures in which the phases have highly dissimilar mobilities, a condition approaching that found in experimental…
On base of Hamiltonian formalism, we show that Hopf bifurcation arrives, in the course of the system evolution, at creation of revolving region of the phase plane being bounded by limit cycle. A revolving phase plane with a set of limit…
We prove that any limit-interface corresponding to a locally uniformly bounded, locally energy-bounded sequence of stable critical points of the van der Waals--Cahn--Hilliard energy functionals with perturbation parameter tending to 0 is…
The convex-concave splitting discretization of the Allen-Cahn is easy to implement and guaranteed to be energy decreasing even for large time-steps. We analyze the time-stepping scheme for a large class of potentials which includes the…
We describe a general phase-field model for hyperelastic multiphase materials. The model features an elastic energy functional that depends on the phase-field variable and a surface energy term that depends in turn on the elastic…
