LeoCrystal 2.6
LeoCrystal - LeoCrystal is a software program that performs numerical Monte Carlo modeling of reaction on the
surface of the growing crystal for illustrative educational and research purposes. With the help of
this program you can estimate influence of effective geometrical sizes of structure elements of the
crystal and thermodynamic parameters of the process on the topology and kinetic of the
crystallization. As soon a process of crystal growth is presented itself in practically all major
technology processes an in depth understanding of complexity of it is essential for professional
research in different area of applied science.
Particular interest it could be for the
nanotechnology investigations permitting off site optimizing design on the molecule scale level.
The creative presentation of the surface includes a three-dimensional perspective projection
and stereo view. It makes this software a great illustrative toll for teaching of the concept of
phase transition for the students of very broad ranges of initial background.
Very moderate
scientific background is needed to understand a material in this section. Preliminary runs of the
program will make a great help to easy accommodate basic concepts.
The crystal growth is a
phase transition process with sharp border between it and initial feeding phase like a liquid, gas
or plasma. The structure element (molecule) of the crystal could be determined as a minimum part of
it when a reaction of incorporating its in the crystal will effect with changing energy of the whole
system that will be equivalent to the condensation energy of the corresponding mass of crystal. In
simple words the molecule is the minimum part of the crystal that behaves as a whole crystal. The
principal difference of behavior of molecules in liquids is based on the principle of the long
order in the crystals structure. Each molecule has exact position relatively to the other in
crystal.
