摘要：Phase-field method is one of the most powerful tools for modeling the formation and evolution of microstructures in a wide variety of kinetic processes in materials. The application of phase-field modelling to understand and predict the domain pattern formation and dynamics in ferroic (e.g., ferroelectric, ferromagnetic, and multiferroic) materials has proven particularly successful. This presentation will start with a general introduction to the phase-field modeling of ferroic materials, followed by discussion on how phase-field modeling has been used to predict new types of magnetoelectric effects in multiferroic heterostructures comprised of juxtaposed ferromagnetic and ferroelectric materials. Examples include strain-mediated voltage-control of chiral magnetic textures such as domain-walls and skyrmions. The last part of the presentation will be focused on the development of dynamical phase-field model for understanding and predicting the response of ferroic domains to ultrafast external stimuli, including picosecond acoustic pulse, femtosecond laser pulse, and terahertz electric-field pulse.
