Real Space Phase Field Simulations of Ferroelectric Materials
Ferroelectric perovskites are used in various transducer, memory and optical applications due to their attractive electromechanical and optical properties. In these applications, ferroelectrics often have complex geometries and function under complex electro-mechanical loadings. Phase-field models are typically used to predict the formation of microstructural patterns and subsequent evolution f...
متن کاملKinetic Monte Carlo Simulations of Crystal Growth in Ferroelectric materials
We study the growth process of ferroelectric materials by kinetic Monte Carlo simulations. An ionic model with long-range Coulomb interactions is used to model the relaxor single crystals. The growth is characterized by thermodynamic processes involving adsorption and evaporation, with solid-on-solid restrictions. An algorithm is developed in order to simulate growth under such a model, for whi...
متن کاملPhase-field modeling of crack propagation in piezoelectric and ferroelectric materials with different electromechanical crack conditions
We present a family of phase field models for fracture in piezoelectric and ferroelectric materials. These models couple a variational formulation of brittle fracture with, respectively, (1) the linear theory of piezoelectricity, and (2) a Ginzburg Landau model of the ferroelectric microstructure to address the full complexity of the fracture phenomenon in these materials. In these models, both...
متن کاملFerroelectric domain structures in SrBi2Nb2O9 epitaxial thin films: Electron microscopy and phase-field simulations
Ferroelectric domain structures of (001)SrBi2Nb2O9 epitaxial films, investigated using both transmission electron microscopy and phase-field simulations, are reported. Experiment and numerical simulation both reveal that the domain structures consist of irregularly shaped domains with curved domain walls. It is shown that the elastic contribution to domain structures can be neglected in SrBi2Nb...
متن کاملThree-dimensional phase field simulations of grain growth in materials containing finely dispersed second-phase particles
Phase field modelling has proven to be a versatile tool for simulating microstructural evolution phenomena, such as grain growth in polycrystalline materials. However, the computational requirements of a phase field model impose strong limitations on the number of phase field variables employed in a practical implementation. In this paper, a bounding box algorithm is proposed allowing the use o...
