Atomic Models for Crystal Growth

  • Chapter

Abstract

Atomic models form one extreme in the description of the growth of crystals. The other extreme is the macroscopic description in terms of thermodynamics and transport theories. Though the atomic formulation as yet is far from complete and certainly not reliable as the sole source of information to design and produce new materials, its relevance is growing. Indeed, since crystal growth is a highly collective process, atomic scale properties are decisive for the macroscopic behavior of crystallizers. Therefore atomic modeling is bound to become indispensable in the further development of materials and processes.
