  • Abstract

In this paper, we propose highly efficient, unconditionally energy-stable numerical schemes to approximate the isotropic phase field model of solid-state dewetting problems by using the invariant energy quadratization (IEQ) method. The phase field model is governed by the isotropic Cahn-Hilliard equation with degenerate mobilities and dynamic contact line boundary conditions. By using the backward differential formula to discretize temporal derivatives, we construct linearly first- and second-order IEQ schemes for solving the model. It can be rigorously proved that these numerical schemes are unconditionally energy-stable and satisfy the total mass conservation during the evolution. By performing numerical simulations, we demonstrate that these IEQ-based schemes (including the first-order IEQ/BDF1, second-order IEQ/BDF2) are highly efficient, accurate and energy-stable. Furthermore, many interesting dewetting phenomena (such as the hole dynamics, pinch-off), are investigated by using the proposed IEQ schemes.
