Description
Summary:It is common knowledge in the science of crystal growth that increasing the crystal growth rate leads to a higher defect density. In Monte Carlo simulations of Lennard-Jones systems the same tendency can be observed. In this paper we give a few examples. Growing from an undercooled melt or a largely supersaturated vapor we obtain twin planes, inclusions, antiphase boundaries and twist planes.
