Abstract
Nonequilibrium molecular dynamics simulations are applied to the investigation of step-flow kinetics at crystal-melt interfaces of silicon, modeled with the Stillinger-Weber potential [Phys. Rev. B 31, 5262 (1985)]. Step kinetic coefficients are calculated from crystallization rates of interfaces that are vicinals of the faceted (111) orientation. These vicinal interfaces contain periodic arrays of bilayer steps, and they are observed to crystallize in a step-flow growth mode at undercoolings lower than 40 K. Kinetic coefficients for both [110] and [121] oriented steps are determined for several values of the average step separation, in the range of 7.7-62.4 A. The values of the step kinetic coefficients are shown to be highly isotropic, and are found to increase with increasing step separation until they saturate at step separations larger than approximately 50 A. The largest step kinetic coefficients are found to be in the range of 0.7-0.8 m(sK), values that are more than five times larger than the kinetic coefficient for the rough (100) crystal-melt interface in the same system. The dependence of step mobility on step separation and the relatively large value of the step kinetic coefficient are discussed in terms of available theoretical models for crystal growth kinetics from the melt.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
