Observing crystal growth processes in computer simulations

Publication date: Available online 3 June 2016 Source:Progress in Crystal Growth and Characterization of Materials Author(s): Hiroki Nada, Hitoshi Miura, Jun Kawano, Toshiharu Irisawa This paper presents the outline of a practical course on computer simulation that will be given at the 16th International Summer School on Crystal Growth (ISSCG-16). The aim of this course is to understand crystal growth processes from the molecular level to the macroscopic level through computer simulations. We will mainly study molecular-scale crystal growth and nucleation processes by using molecular dynamics simulations and macroscopic growth processes at crystal surfaces by using phase field simulations.
