# CrossTermBarrierFunctionMaterial

Free energy contribution symmetric across interfaces between arbitrary pairs of phases.

The material provides a function that is parameterized by all phase order parameters . It calculates a phase transformation barrier energy that contains contributions for pairs of order parameters.

With the g_order parameter set to SIMPLE the function is defined as

(1)

and with the g_order parameter set to LOW it is defined as

(2)

The is a matrix of all coefficients for the pair terms.

## Input Parameters

Default:True

C++ Type:bool

Options:

Description:When false, MOOSE will not call compute methods on this material. The user must call computeProperties() after retrieving the Material via MaterialPropertyInterface::getMaterial(). Non-computed Materials are not sorted for dependencies.
