The phase rule is a powerful tool to know the number of degrees of freedom in both homogeneous and heterogeneous systems at equilibrium. In this chapter, we shall show several examples of the application of the phase rule.Masanori Iwase
3.5B to illustrate the application of the lever rule in ternary systems. As before, it may be of interest to know the amount of any phase present at a particular temperature, x, for a fixed bulk composition, c. Construction lines xA and xC can be drawn to construct the triangle xAC. ...
In light of this, the observation of patterning at room temperature is surprising, since the phase coexistence at ambient pressure is limited to a single temperature by Gibb’s phase rule for elemental systems. Limited kinetics of the GB phase junction motion, but also the elastic interaction ...
in the figure has been examined at atmospheric pressure; because thepressurevariable is fixed, thephase ruleis expressed asP+F=C+ 1. In this form it is called thecondensed phase rule, for anygasphase is either condensed to a liquid or is present in negligible amounts. Thephase diagramshows...
Small-scale shape memory ceramics exhibit superior shape memory or superelasticity properties, while their integration into a matrix material and the subsequent attainment of their reversible tetragonal-monoclinic phase transformations remains a challenge. Here, cerium-doped zirconia (CZ) reinforced aluminum ...

The phase-field method (PFM) is an established simulation technique in science and engineering due to its capability to predict free boundary movement numerically in an efficient way. The key is to replace free boundaries between (physically) separable regions—orphases—by a transition region—ordi...

However, there are some exceptions from this rule. It is well known that water reaches the highest density at 4 °C. Solid ice has a lower density than cold water, thus the material is shrinking during the melting process. The same applies to gallium, which expands by 3 vol% during...
As a rule of thumb, if the volume fraction of a phase in an emulsion is so much larger than the other phase, it will eventually form the continuous phase [1]. The inversion point is also influenced by the presence of emulsifiers and their solubility tendency in each phase. In the ...
