研究目的
Investigating the simulation and visualization of crystal shapes and interfaces, specifically focusing on the HCP non-Bravais case to model helium crystals and study grain boundaries.
研究成果
The study successfully simulated and visualized crystal shapes and interfaces, specifically for the HCP non-Bravais case, modeling helium crystals and studying grain boundaries. The process involved calculating surface tension, creating and manipulating HCP crystals, and calculating surface energy for various boundary conditions. The findings have wider applications in condensed matter simulation and visualization, as well as in wavefront optimization in multimirror telescopes.
研究不足
The study is limited to the HCP non-Bravais case and requires numerical simulation due to the complexity of next nearest neighbour interactions. The experimental measurements may not have been in true equilibrium, and the additional facets' research requires a large NNN term for agreement between experimental and simulation results.
