Phase-field crystal approach to model interfaces and crystal nucleation in binary alloys — •Muhammad Ajmal Choudhary1, Julia Kundin1, Martin Oettel2, and Heike Emmerich11Lehrstuhl für Material- und Prozesssimulation, Universität Bayreuth, D-95440 Bayreuth. — 2Institut für Angewandte Physik, Universität Tübingen, D-72076, Tübingen.

In general, the properties of a material are strongly related to the nucleation and patterning of its microstructure. Phase-field crystal (PFC) modeling is widely used to address the nucleation and microstructure evolution phenomena. We used a binary alloy system to study the equilibrium properties of liquid-solid interfaces as well as the nucleation barriers. We proposed the method of determining interfacial energies for a curved liquid-solid interface by stabilizing the circular solid seed in the surrounding liquid phase as well as the liquid droplet in the solid phase for various seed sizes in a finite system. We also derived the free energy barriers for the nucleation and investigated the system size effects on the equilibrium properties of liquid-solid interface and nucleation barriers. Furthermore, we compared the simulation results with the existing theories as well as the predictions based on the classical nucleation theory.
