Phase-field crystal modeling of heteroepitaxy and exotic modes of crystal nucleation

We review recent advances made in modeling heteroepitaxy, two-step nucleation, and nucleation at the growth front within the framework of a simple dynamical density functional theory, the Phase-Field Crystal (PFC) model. The crystalline substrate is rep-resented by spatially confined periodic potent...
