Crystal growth evolution computer simulation

Based on this mechanism. Wild et al.l l developed a two-dimensional computer program to simulate the crystal growth evolution and the surface morphology of polyerystalline films grown from square nuclei with random orientations and random positions on a substrate. The calculated - - and experimentalP lP l results show that, for the diamond films (150-400 pm in thickness) investigated under the experimental conditions, (110) is the direction of fastest growth with the film surfaee eonsisting of 111 planes.
