OverviewForming a pattern is a general phenomenon in nature, from window flowers to different shapes of cloud. In materials science, patterns of domains or microstructures play a significant role in determining the materials properties. In my research, I employ a combination of Landau theory, phase-field method, and first-principles calculations to study the underlying mechanisms of a particular domain patterns with the goal of optimizing materials properties. The temporal evolution of domain structures in different functional materials are analyzed.
