Modeling Grain Boundaries Using a Phase-Field Technique

James A. Warren, R Kobayashi, W Carter

Abstract

We propose a two dimensional phase field model or grain boundary dynamics. One dimensional analytical solutions for a stable grain boundary in a bicrystal are obtained, and equilibrium energies are computed. By comparison with microscopic models of dislocation walls, insights into the physical accuracy of this model can be obtained. Indeed, for a particular choice of functional dependencies in the model, the grain boundary energy takes the same analytic form as the microscopic (dislocation) model of Read and Shockley [1].
