Cellular Automaton Modeling of the Transition of Multi-Crystalline Silicon from a Planar Faceted Front to Equiaxed Growth

Cellular Automaton Modeling of the Transition of Multi-Crystalline Silicon from a Planar Faceted Front to Equiaxed Growth

A modeling approach combining the lattice Boltzmann (LB) method and the cellular automaton (CA) technique are developed to simulate the faceted front to equiaxed structure transition (FET) of directional solidification of multi-crystalline silicon. The LB method is used for the coupled calculation o...
