Abstract
Fronts dynamics of periodic crystalline state, which invades the homogeneous state (liquid phase), are analysed. These fronts are considered as traveling waves of atomic density amplitudes. The propagation of amplitudes is described by the hyperbolic equation of an extended Allen-Cahn type for which the complete set of analytical traveling-wave solutions are obtained by tanh-method. The set of solutions includes previously known traveling waves for the parabolic Allen-Cahn equation of both extended and standard form.
Highlights
The phase field crystal model (PFC-model) has been used to examine the dynamics of liquid-solid transformations, grain boundary migration and dislocation motion [1,2]
Taking into account slow and fast degrees of freedom for the crystal-liquid interface propagation, the amplitude equation of the PFC-model is described by the following partial differential equation (PDE) [7]:
We have obtained traveling wave solutions represented by hyperbolic tanh-functions (23) that confirms the correctness of the particular solutions for the dynamical problem of fast diffuse interfaces [32,33]
