The Atomic Structure of Moving Interfaces

To summarize the structure of a moving interface on the atomic scale depends on the atomic mechanism which operates in the structure transformation. The mode selection depends on the driving force and thus on the interface velocity. The interface mobility itself is determined by its structure and depends therefore on the driving force. This means that interface controlled reactions are normally nonlinear functions of the driving force.
