Phase-Field Simulation of Interface Effect during Grain Nucleation

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper, a phase field model based on Ginzburg-Landau theory is used to analyze the topological phenomena during grain growth. The simulation results show that two topological transformations exist during the grain growth—Neighbor Switching and Grain Annihilation; and we have found different kinds of topological events during the disappearance of a grain: direct vanishing of trilateral grain and pentagonal grain, as well as neighbor switching,which are right with classical topological theory and Euler formula. The simulation results are similar with experiments.
