Hybrid Potts-Phase field model to simulate microstructure evolution in a fictional bi-phase material

The target of this project was to implement a hybrid Monte Carlo Potts - Phase Field model to simulate grain growth and phase change in a fictional bi-phase material based on the work of Homer et al. [1]. This model was implemented using a highly scalable microstructure simulation framework, MMSP.
