DESCRIPTION:This event has been canceled. Abstract Title: Mechanisms of sol
 id–solid phase transformations using coarse-grained models Abstract Summary
 : Solid–solid phase transitions\, in which a material transforms from one c
 rystalline phase to another\, are ubiquitous in materials systems. Control 
 over these transformation pathways could enable the tuning of microstructur
 al features and materials properties\, which requires a fundamental underst
 anding of the mechanisms underlying these transitions. However\, particular
 ly in displacive transformations—where particle movements are subtle and oc
 cur rapidly—these processes are difficult to observe in situ and they remai
 n poorly understood. In this talk\, I will show how minimal models of parti
 cles interacting through isotropic pair potentials can be used to simulate 
 spontaneous solid–solid phase transitions\, with a focus on both the kineti
 cs and thermodynamics that govern these processes. In particular\, I will f
 ocus on the transformation between body-centered cubic (bcc) and face-cente
 red cubic (fcc) crystal structures\, a transformation common in metals and 
 alloys as well as in soft matter systems such as nanoparticles and colloids
 . Analysis at the per-particle level offers new insights into the mechanism
 s of solid–solid phase transitions and suggests strategies for the predicti
 ve design of materials with tailor-made microstructures.
