This insightful book delves into the Phase Field Crystal (PFC) model, bridging the gap between microscopic structural details and mesoscopic continuum theories. Readers will gain a comprehensive understanding of advanced methods for rapid interface propagation within the PFC framework. This edition thoroughly explores a variety of thermal gradients, supersaturations, and supercoolings, making it particularly relevant for applications in cutting-edge technologies like selective laser melting. The first half of the book is dedicated to theoretical foundations, providing a solid base for understanding the interplay between structure and dynamics. In the second half, the authors shift focus to numerical models, offering practical insights that enhance computational techniques in material science and engineering. This balanced approach equips students and professionals alike with the tools to apply PFC concepts to real-world scenarios and innovations.
