AbstractThe effects of long-range elastic fields on the phase separation process of three- dimensional binary alloy systems was investigated with large-scale Langevin simulations. The elastic effects incorporated in the model are the result of anisotropy and dilational misfits introduced via inhomogeneities in the elastic constants of the constituents. The domain morphology obtained is readily understandable in terms of selection criterion for the shape and/or orientation of the domains, and is based on the different shear moduli that are present in the system. Coarsening mechanisms were found to be a combination of the classical Ostwald ripening mechanism and the elastically-driven coalescence of domains. Other aspects of the coarsening process such as dynamic scaling of the structure function is presented.

ABSTRACTWe report on large-scale three-dimensional simulations of phase separation in model binary alloy systems in the presence of elastic fields. The elastic field has several important effects on the morphology of the system: the ordered domains are subject to shape transformations, and spatial ordering. In contrast to two-dimensional system, no significant slowing down in the growth is observed. There is also no evidence of any “reverse coarsening” of the domains.
