Phase field modeling of electrochemistry. I. Equilibrium.
A diffuse interface (phase field) model for an electrochemical system is developed. We describe the minimal set of components needed to model an electrochemical interface and present a variational derivation of the governing equations. With a simple set of assumptions: mass and volume constraints, Poisson's equation, ideal solution thermodynamics in the bulk, and a simple description of the com...
متن کاملUpper bounds for flexoelectric coefficients in ferroelectrics
Flexoelectric effect is the response of electric polarization to the mechanical strain gradient. At the nano-scale, where large strain gradients are expected, the flexoelectric effect becomes appreciable and may substitute piezoelectric effect in centrosymmetric materials. These features make flexoelectricity of growing interest during the last decade. At the same time, the available theoretica...
متن کاملModeling the paraelectric aging effect in the acceptor doped perovskite ferroelectrics: role of oxygen vacancy.
The time dependence of physical properties in the paraelectric phase was probed recently in a Mn(3+) doped (Ba0.8Sr0.2)TiO3 ceramic, providing a simple situation (without spontaneous polarization or domain walls) to quantify the role of the oxygen vacancy during aging. In the present study, we propose a quantitative model for paraelectric aging to understand how the distribution of the oxygen v...

متن کاملPhase field approach for modeling intracellular dynamics
We introduce a phase field approach for diffusion inside and outside a closed cell with damping and with source terms at the interface. The method is compared to exact solutions (where possible) and the more traditional finite element method. It is shown to be very accurate, easy to implement and computationally inexpensive. We apply our method to a recently introduced model for chemotaxis by R...
