Diffusional Phase Transformations

Understanding the dynamics of diffusional phase transformations is central to predicting the development of microstructure in materials and their resulting properties. In these systems, the motion of the interfaces are governed by the diffusion of mass with boundary conditions which are a function of the curvature of the interface and, possibly, elastic stress. The speakers will highlight the current developments in this area. They will describe the motion of these interfaces using both the sharp interface and diffuse interface, or phase field, descriptions.
