چکیده
Let A, D be finite subsets of Zk (the set of all k-tuples of integers), and consider the sequence of sets (A,A + D,A + D+ D, . ..) which can be thought of as stages of growth in a crystal. One starts with a hub A and adds increments equal to D. We represent finite subsets of Zk by means of polynomials, and show that the sequence of polynomials corresponding to the crystal sequence is generated by a rational function. The proof is non-constructive.

A Cellular Automata Modelling of Dendritic Crystal Growth based on Moore and von Neumann Neighbourhood
An important step in understanding crystal growth patterns involves simulation of the growth processes using mathematical models. In this paper some commonly used models in this area are reviewed, and a new simulation model of dendritic crystal growth based on the Moore and von Neumann neighbourhoods in cellular automata models are introduced. Simulation examples are employed to find appropriat...
متن کاملEffects of melt-pool geometry on crystal growth and microstructure development in laser surface-melted superalloy single crystals. Mathematical modeling of single-crystal growth in a melt pool (part I)
The effects of melt-pool geometrical parameters on crystal growth and microstructure development during laser surface melting of single-crystal alloys were studied by means of mathematical modeling and experiments. A mathematical model was developed for the three-dimensional (3-D) melt-pool geometry and single-crystalline melt-pool solidification in laser surface melting. The 3-D meltpool geome...
متن کاملInvestigation of Different Stages of Aluminum Fluoride Crystal Growth
Crystallization of Aluminum fluoride at atmospheric pressure has been considered. Structure, size and shape of crystals formed during the crystallization process have been investigated. By applying the direct analysis method for the existed aluminum in solution, the aluminum fluoride nucleation process has been detected as a concentration valley at the outset of crystallization process. The...
متن کاملEffects of substrate crystallographic orientations on crystal growth and microstructure development in laser surface-melted superalloy single crystals. Mathematical modeling of single-crystal growth in a melt pool (Part II)
The mathematical model developed for single-crystalline solidification in laser surface melting (LSM) described in Part I [Acta Mater 2004;52:4833–4847] was used to compute the dendrite growth pattern and velocity distribution in the 3D melt pool for various substrate orientations. LSM experiments with single-crystal nickel-base superalloys were conducted for different orientations to verify th...
متن کاملA model for isotropic crystal growth from vapor on a patterned substrate
We developed a consistent mathematical model for isotropic crystal growth on a substrate covered by the mask material with a periodic series of parallel long trenches where the substrate is exposed to the vapor phase. Surface diffusion and the flux of particles from vapor are assumed to be the main mechanisms of growth. A geometrical approach to the motion of crystal surface in two dimensions i...
متن کاملCrystal size distribution in metamorphic rocks: an example for the relationship between nucleation and growth rates with overstepping
Crystal size distribution (CSD) in metamorphic rocks provide fundamental information about crystal nucleation and growth rate, growth time and the degree of overstepping. CSD data for garnet, staurolite, kyanite and andalusite crystals from the aureole demonstrate that the earliest formed of these minerals, garnet, has the highest population density and the shortest growth time. The last formed...
