N2 - This chapter reviews the principles and applications of the phase field (PF) technique for modeling phase transformations and microstructural evolution, with an emphasis on solid-solid transformations. Conventional PF models (PFMs), which rely on phenomenological thermodynamic and kinetic descriptions, are first presented and selected examples are discussed. Recent efforts toward the derivation of quantitative PFMs are then summarized. Lastly, applications of the PF method to phenomena induced by irradiation are reviewed, including the dynamical stabilization of compositional patterns and void lattices, the disordering of ordered precipitates, and the buildup on nonequilibrium segregation on defect clusters.
