Cr. Huo et al., The stability of the crystal growth face in a model for crystal growth from solution under microgravity, ACT PHY C E, 50(3), 2001, pp. 377-382
The stability of the crystal growth face in a two-dimensional mathematical
model of crystal growth from solution under microgravity is studied. The gr
owth rate of a crystal is calculated for various tilt angles of the crystal
growth face. It is known from the results of calculation that there exists
possibly a stable growth face of the crystal. This face should be a suitab
ly shaped curve with the upper end of the face tilting backwards.
