Abstract: | A mathematical and software implementation of a geometrical model of the morphology of growth in a cubic crystal system, such as diamond, is presented based on the relative growth velocities of four low index crystal planes: {100}, {110}, {111}, and {113}. The model starts from a seed crystal of arbitrary shape bounded by {100}, {110}, {111} and/or {113} planes, or a vicinal (off axis) surface of any of these planes. The model allows for adjustable growth rates, times, and seed crystal sizes. A second implementation of the model nucleates a twinned crystal on a {100} surface and follows the evolution of its morphology. New conditions for the stability of penetration twins on {100} and {111} surfaces in terms of the alpha, beta, and gamma growth parameters are presented. |
