Abstract
The growth of a supercritical nucleus from a diffusion field is studie d numerically using a phase-field model. This represents growth of a c rystal with small or vanishing anisotropy. We find three-dimensional c ooperating multiplets instead of dendrites, in analogy to the doublons found previously in two dimensions. Tripler structures in particular appear to be the building blocks of the resulting morphology under con ditions of free growth in three dimensions.
