Selection of Crystal Chirality: Equilibrium or Nonequilibrium?
Yukio Saito, Hiroyuki Hyuga
To study the solution growth of crystals composed of chiral organic molecules, a spin-one Ising lattice gas model is proposed. The model turns out to be equivalent to the Blume-Eme…
Chiral Crystal Growth under Grinding
Yukio Saito, Hiroyuki Hyuga
To study the establishment of homochirality observed in the crystal growth experiment of chiral molecules from a solution under grinding, we extend the lattice gas model of crystal…
Fluctuation Induced Homochirality
Takeshi Sugimori, Hiroyuki Hyuga, Yukio Saito
We propose a new mechanism for the achievment of homochirality in life without any autocatalytic production process. Our model consists of a spontaneous production together with a…
Shape of Heteroepitaxial Island Determined by Asymmetric Detachment
Yukio Saito, Ryo Kawasaki
Square lattice gas models for heteroepitaxial growth are studied by means of kinetic Monte Carlo simulations, in order to find a possible origin of anisotropic island shape observe…
Dewetting of a solid monolayer
Olivier Pierre-Louis, Anna Chame, Yukio Saito
We report on the dewetting of a monolayer on a solid substrate, where mass transport occurs via surface diffusion. For a wide range of parameters, a labyrinthine pattern of bilayer…
Two-Dimensional Island Shape Determined by Detachment
Yukio Saito, Ryo Kawasaki
Effect of an anisotropic detachment on a heteroepitaxial island shape is studied by means of a kinetic Monte Carlo simulation of a square lattice gas model. Only with molecular dep…
