초록

Computer simulations have played a central role in the development of out understanding of the atomic scale processes involved in crystal growth. The assumptions underlying computer modeling will be discussed and out recent work on modeling of the kinetic formation of thermodynamically unstable phases in alloys or mixtures will be reviewed. Our Monte Carlo computer simulations have reproduced the experimental results on the rapid recrystallization of laser-melted doped silicon. An analytical model for this phenomenon has been developed, and its applicability to other materials will be discussed.
