Abstract

Microscopic morphologies of monocomponent and binary solids growing from melts and vapors are simulated with a Monte Carlo model that accounts for bulk diffusion, interface attachment and detachment kinetics and surface diffusion. The interplay between transport and interface kinetics on morphologies and its effect on microstructures including lamellar spacing, tilted lamellar and oscillatory structures is investigated. An important aspect of these models is the length scale of the simulation.
