Phase-Field Methods in Microstructure Modeling (791) course will now be offered in the fall of 2007 and would be given by Dr. N. Provatas
Modelling solidification microstructure formation in metal alloys using phase-field and phase field crystal methods. Introduction to high performance computing, finite difference and finite element methods. Use of continuum methods and high performance computing to study solidification, solid state tansformstions and deformation of nanocrystals.

Speaker: Dr. Jeff Hoyt, Sandia National Labs BIMR Seminar. Monday October 16: Dendrites are the branched, tree-like solid spikes that propagate rapidly into the liquid during the crystallization of an undercooled or supersaturated liquid. Although dendrites are observed in several important processes such as snowflake formation and the casting of alloys, a complete theoretical and modeling-based understanding of dendrite growth remains elusive.
