The Dynamics of Nucleation in Stochastic Cahn-Morral Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
Cahn–Morral systems serve as models for several phase separation phenomena in multicomponent alloys. In this paper we study the dynamical aspects of nucleation in a stochastic version of these models using numerical simulations, concentrating on ternary, i.e., three-component, alloys on twodimensional square domains. We perform numerical studies and give a statistical classification for the distribution of droplet types as the component structure of the alloy is varied. We relate these statistics to the low-energy equilibria of the deterministic equation.

Numerical Study for the Nucleation of One-dimensional Stochastic Cahn-hilliard Dynamics
Abstract. We consider the nucleation of one-dimensional stochastic Cahn-Hilliard dynamics with the standard double well potential. We design the string method for computing the most probable transition path in the zero temperature limit based on large deviation theory. We derive the nucleation rate formula for the stochastic Cahn-Hilliard dynamics through finite dimensional discretization. We a...
متن کاملNucleation Rate Calculation for the Phase Transition of Diblock Copolymers under Stochastic Cahn-Hilliard Dynamics
We focus on the nucleation rate calculation for diblock copolymers by studying the two-dimensional stochastic Cahn–Hilliard dynamics with a Landau–Brazovskii energy functional. To do this, we devise the string method to compute the minimal energy path of nucleation events and the gentlest ascent dynamics to locate the saddle point on the path in Fourier space. Both methods are combined with the...
متن کاملSlow Motion in One-dimensional Cahn-morral Systems
In this paper we study one-dimensional Cahn-Morral systems, which are the multicomponent analogues of the Cahn-Hilliard model for phase separation and coarsening in binary mixtures. In particular, we examine solutions that start with initial data close to the preferred phases except at finitely many transition points where the data has sharp transition layers, and we show that such solutions ma...
متن کاملA Stochastic Phase-Field Model Computed From Coarse-Grained Molecular Dynamics
Results are presented from numerical experiments aiming at the computation of stochastic phase-field models for phase transformations by coarse-graining molecular dynamics. The studied phase transformations occur between a solid crystal and a liquid. Nucleation and growth, sometimes dendritic, of crystal grains in a sub-cooled liquid is determined by diffusion and convection of heat, on the mac...
