Higher-order phase field models and detailed anisotropy

Abstract
An interface between two phases is considered. A set of differential equations of arbitrary order is derived from a Landau-Ginzburg approach. The higher-order equations reveal more detailed structure of the interface. In particular, any anisotropy of the interactions is exhibited in the equations and the modified Gibbs-Thompson relation at the interface.
