Monte Carlo potts and Phase field

Submitted by multi_scaler on

Hi,

I have very recently started with Grain growth modeling and am currently learning the various methods.

I have managed to reproduce the results of Chen et al., PRB, 1994 using the phase field model. I was now trying

to focus my attention on reproducing the result using the Monte Carlo Potts model, essentially the formalism described

in Tikare et al., Acta Mat. 1999. using a python program. The code is still very rudimentary and am sure there is a lot
