Thermodynamically consistent phase field approach to phase transformations with interface stresses

A short review on a thermodynamically consistent multiphase phase-field approach for virtual melting has been presented. The important outcomes of solid-solid phase transformations via intermediate melt have been discussed for HMX crystal. It is found out that two nanoscale material parameters and solid-melt barrier term in the phase-field model significantly affect the mechanism of PTs, induces nontrivial scale effects, and changes PTs behaviors at the nanoscale during virtual melting.
