We deal with a long-standing problem about how to design an energy-stable numerical scheme for solving the motion of a closed curve under {\sl anisotropic surface diffusion} with a general anisotropic surface energy $\gamma(\boldsymbol{n})$…
The problem of simulating solid-state dewetting of thin films in three dimensions (3D) by using a sharp-interface approach is considered in this paper. Based on the thermodynamic variation, a speed method is used for calculating the first…
We propose a sharp-interface model for solid-state dewetting of thin films with wetting potential, where the wetting effect is incorporated through a thickness-dependent surface energy. The model is governed by surface diffusion together…
We propose an energy-stable parametric finite element method (ES-PFEM) to discretize the motion of a closed curve under surface diffusion with an anisotropic surface energy $\gamma(\theta)$ -- anisotropic surface diffusion -- in two…
Phase transition problems on curved surfaces can lead to a panopticon of fascinating patterns. In this paper we consider finite element approximations of phase field models with a spatially inhomogeneous and anisotropic surface energy…
We present a diffuse-interface model for the solid-state dewetting problem with anisotropic surface energies in ${\mathbb R}^d$ for $d\in\{2,3\}$. The introduced model consists of the anisotropic Cahn--Hilliard equation, with either a…
This paper deals with the numerical study of a strongly anisotropic heat equation. The use of standard schemes in this situation leads to poor results, due to the high anisotropy. Furthermore, the recently proposed Asymptotic-Preserving…
We present a phase-field model for simulating the solid-state dewetting of anisotropic crystalline films on non-planar substrates. This model exploits two order parameters to trace implicitly the crystal free surface and the substrate…
We consider the evolution of curve networks in two dimensions (2d) and surface clusters in three dimensions (3d). The motion of the interfaces is described by surface diffusion, with boundary conditions at the triple junction points/lines,…
We propose an energy-stable parametric finite element method (ES-PFEM) for simulating solid-state dewetting of thin films in two dimensions via a sharp-interface model, which is governed by surface diffusion and contact line (point)…
We report an experimental assessment of surface kinetic roughening properties that are anisotropic in space. Working for two specific instances of silicon surfaces irradiated by ion-beam sputtering under diverse conditions (with and without…
While isotropic in-plane swelling problems for thin elastic sheets have been studied extensively in recent years, many shape-programmable materials, including nematic solids and 3D-printed structures, are anisotropic, as are most industrial…
Materials' microstructure strongly influences its performance and is thus a critical aspect in design of functional materials. Previous efforts on microstructure mediated design mostly assume isotropy, which is not ideal when material…
We propose a structure-preserving parametric finite element method (SP-PFEM) for discretizing the surface diffusion of a closed curve in two dimensions (2D) or surface in three dimensions (3D). Here the "structure-preserving" refers to…
Summation-by-parts (SBP) finite difference methods have several desirable properties for second-order wave equations. They combine the computational efficiency of narrow-stencil finite difference operators with provable stability on…
Solid-state dewetting phenomenon in silver thin films offers a straightforward method to obtain structures having controlled shape or size -this latter in principle spanning several orders of magnitudes -- with potentially strong interest…
An evolution partial differential equation for the surface of a non-wetting single-crystal film in an attractive substrate potential is derived and used to study the dynamics of a pinhole for the varying initial depth of a pinhole and the…
This paper reports a development in the proper symplectic decomposition (PSD) for model reduction of forced Hamiltonian systems. As an analogy to the proper orthogonal decomposition (POD), PSD is designed to build a symplectic subspace to…
We propose a class of temporally high-order parametric finite element methods for simulating solid-state dewetting of thin films in two dimensions using a sharp-interface model. The process is governed by surface diffusion and contact point…
The concern of the present work is the introduction of a very efficient Asymptotic Preserving scheme for the resolution of highly anisotropic diffusion equations. The characteristic features of this scheme are the uniform convergence with…
