Phase field modelling allotropic transformation of solid solution

Solid-Solid Phase Transformation Kinetics

Natural formation of the bcc modification for Co was demonstrated to occur upon precipitation of Co in supersaturated Au90Co10 alloy. The microstructural evolution was investigated by high resolution transmission electron microscopy. Co precipitation starts with the formation of very thin coherent plates along {100}Au. This initially precipitated Co was shown to be a hitherto unknown metastable...

Phase-field model for solid state transformation in a two-phase binary system with elastic inhomogeneity

A phase-field model is presented to study binary systems having two phases with different elastic properties. The evolution of two phase-field variables, namely, composition and non-conserved phase-field, are considered. This model uses the approach of Steinbach and Apel [1] to model the dependence of total strain on the phase-field, which assumes equal elastic stresses in the different phases ...

Solid phase versus solution phase synthesis of heterocyclic macrocycles.

Comparing a solution phase route to a solid phase route in the synthesis of the cytotoxic natural product urukthapelstatin A (Ustat A) confirmed that a solid phase method is superior. The solution phase approach was tedious and involved cyclization of a ridged heterocyclic precursor, while solid phase allowed the rapid generation of a flexible linear peptide. Cyclization of the linear peptide w...
