Asymptotic Matching for Thin Film Epitaxial Growth -- 5.3. A Generalized Approach Towards the Asymptotic Analysis of Diffuse Interface Models -- 5.4. Discussion.
Summary: "The book is devoted to the application of phase-field (diffuse interface) models in materials science. In materials science phase-field modeling emerged only recently as a theoretical approach to tackle questions concerning the evolution of materials microstructure, the relation between microstructure and materials properties and the transformation and evolution of different phases. This volume brings together the
