Thermodynamic phase-field model for microstructure with multiple components and phases: The possibility of metastable phases

A diffuse-interface model for microstructure with an arbitrary number of components and phases was developed from basic thermodynamic and kinetic principles and formalized within a variational framework. The model includes a composition gradient energy to capture solute trapping and is therefore sui...
