Abstract

Many dynamic growth processes are shown to involve changes in more than one of the nine geometric variable that describe the geometry of a planar interface between crystals. Even simple examples illustrating changes in each one of the nine are found to involve some of the others. A generalized concept of crystal-crystal interface motion, using all nine variables, is suggested.
