Faceted Crystals Grown from Solution A Stefan Type Problem with a Singular Interfacial Energy Yoshikazu Giga University of Tokyo and Hokkaido University COE Joint work with Piotr Rybka December , 2005 Lyon
A basic problem from pattern formation in the theory of crystal growth.In what situation a flat portion (a FACET) of crystal surface breaks or not ? Goal : We shall prove : ‘All facets are stable near equilibrium for a cylindrical crystal by analysizing a Stefan type problem’
Contents 1 Model 2 Problem 3 Main mathematical results 4 Three ingredients - ODE analysis - Berg’s effect - Facet splitting criteria- 5 Open problems
1 Model Crystals grown from vapor (snow crystal) from solution (NaCl crystal) <driving force : supersaturation> (density of atoms outside crystal is small)
We shall consider (1)-(5) for given quasi-stationary One phase Stefan problem with Gibbs-Thomson + kinetic effect
Solvability (smooth ) K. Deckelnik - C. Elliott ’99 ( Hele Shaw type ) No …Friedman –Hu ’92 Liu – Yuan ’94
Others (No ) Kuroda-Irisawa-Ookawa ‘77 Stability of facets Experiment e.g. Gonda-Gomi ’85 (No ) : Fingering : Saffman-Taylor R.Almgrem ’95
Th (Rybka-G ‘04) If is close to the Equilibrium then the solution solves the original problem (1),(2),(3), (4),(5),(6),(7) Near equilibrium Facet does not break.
