Abstract:
This memorial paper reflects on the innovative spirit of Dr Prof. Peter K Galenko. We focus on his revolutionary concept of local non-equilibrium in rapid solidification, which led to breakthroughs in modeling solute trapping and diffusionless growth. The article further showcases his role in advancing phase-field crystal methods and dendritic selection theory, demonstrating how his work across multiple scales and conditions, from atomic to microgravity, redefined the frontiers of crystallization research.
