Abstract:
This mini-course will serve as an introduction to the phase field models of phase transitions and phase coexistence and will cover the following subjects, time permitting:
- Introduction to models of phase transitions: van der Waals theory, Landau theory, lattice gas, Cahn-Hilliard and Allen-Cahn equations;
- Spinodal decomposition and continuous ordering, nucleation and growth, coarsening;
- Optimal bounds on coarsening rates.
