Phase Field Crystal Approach to the Solidification of Ferromagnetic Materials
… of magnetic solids is investigated, using a field theoretical approach, called the Magnetic Phase Field Crystal model. We constructed the free energy by extending the Phase Field Crystal (PFC) formalism and including terms to incorporate the ferromagnetic phase transition and the anisotropic …

Scaling and Pattern Formation in Condensed Matter Systems
Finally, I study multiscale patterns in polycrystalline materials, with the phase field crystal (PFC) model. I first show that the complex amplitudes representation incorporates the correct form of nonlinear elasticity. I then analyze the plastic properties of the model by applying a shearing …

Efficient phase field simulations of multiple crystal orientations
Numerical simulations of crystals with multiple crystal orientations have become the subject of intense interest in the last decade, as a vast range of industrial materials - from polycrystals to nanoparticles - falls into that category. In this work, I present several detailed studies which …

Efficient Algorithms And Optimizations For Scientific Computing On Many-Core Processors
… different particle and molecular-based force fields and ensembles. GOMC simulates different Monte Carlo ensembles such as the canonical, grand canonical, and Gibbs ensembles. This work describes many challenges in developing a GPU Monte Carlo code for such ensembles and how I addressed these …

Plasticity as a depinning phase transition
Crystalline materials deform in an intermittent way with slip-avalanches that are power-law distributed. In this work we study plasticity as a pinning-depinning phase transition employing a discrete dislocation dynamics (DDD) model and a phase eld crystal (PFC) model in two dimensions. Below a …
