The present theme issue is devoted to recent trends and research directions in the phase transformation phenomena occurring in metastable and heterogeneous materials. All papers are concerned with modern theories, experiments, and computer simulations in the wide area of phase transformations. Particular attention is paid to traditional research domains representing the theoretical background for recent simulations and experiments that are as well specifically highlighted herein. Such rapidly developing research directions as phase-field modeling, laser treatment of surfaces, nanostructures, and influence of external fields on the microstructure formation are specially covered in this issue.
