Cellular Automaton Modeling of Silicon Facet Formation during Directional Solidification

Silicon facet formation during directional solidification is simulated by cellular automaton (CA) modeling in which anisotropic interfacial energy and kinetics are considered. Numerical simulations were performed with different anisotropy strengths of interfacial energy and they show good agreement...
