218 8 Pathways of Structural Transformations in Reconstructive Phase Transitions
reconstructive phase transformations is emphasized. Instead, the role of chemistry
in driving patterns of nucleation, domain formation, and the evolution of metastable
interfaces and intermediates is clearly emerging. Therein the phase-formation
sequence and its interplay with chemical reactivity controlling the final material
morphologies become firmly rooted from assumption-free model studies. All in
all, a perspective is emerging of bringing together computer simulations and
solid–solid phase transitions, in a way that the chemical intuition is supported by
the atomistic resolution of the computer models.
