平衡体心立方-液相界面的相场晶体模拟

Phase-field crystal modeling of equilibrium bcc-liquid interfaces

Kuo-An Wu, Alain Karma

摘要:

本文研究了连续相场晶体(PFC)方法模拟的体心立方-液体界面的平衡性质[K。R.埃尔德和M. Grant,Phys.Rev.E70,051605(2004)]。PFC模型进行了多尺度分析,它利用了这样一个事实,即晶体密度波的振幅衰减缓慢到液体中的物理相关的限制,其中的冻结过渡是弱的一阶。这种分析产生了一组用于这些振幅的耦合方程,其类似于从Ginzburg-Landau(GL)理论[K. A. Wu等人,E 73,094101(2006)]。这两个集合的不同之处仅在于不同密度波之间的高阶非线性耦合的细节,这是由PFC模型中假设的非线性形式和GL理论中具有相同边数的所有多边形具有相等权重的假设决定的。尽管存在这些差异,对于从分子动力学(MD)模拟确定的Fe的参数(液体结构因子和固体密度波振幅),PFC和GL振幅方程对界面自由能和密度波剖面的整体幅度和各向异性产生非常相似的预测。这些预测相比,MD模拟以及数值解的PFC模型。

英文摘要:

We investigate the equilibrium properties of bcc-liquid interfaces modeled with a continuum phase-field crystal (PFC) approach [K. R. Elder and M. Grant, Phys. Rev. E 70, 051605 (2004)]. A multiscale analysis of the PFC model is carried out which exploits the fact that the amplitudes of crystal density waves decay slowly into the liquid in the physically relevant limit where the freezing transition is weakly first order. This analysis yields a set of coupled equations for these amplitudes that is similar to the set of equations derived from Ginzburg-Landau (GL) theory [K.-A. Wu et al., Phys. Rev. E 73, 094101 (2006)]. The two sets only differ in the details of higher order nonlinear couplings between different density waves, which is determined by the form of the nonlinearity assumed in the PFC model and by the ansatz that all polygons with the same number of sides have equal weight in GL theory. Despite these differences, for parameters (liquid structure factor and solid density wave amplitude) of Fe determined from molecular dynamic (MD) simulations, the PFC and GL amplitude equations yield very similar predictions for the overall magnitude and anisotropy of the interfacial free-energy and density wave profiles. These predictions are compared with MD simulations as well as numerical solutions of the PFC model.
