Abstract
We consider the shape of a slowly growing single crystal, which in equilibrium contains both facets and rounded regions. In a restricted regime of growth drive, a simple modification of the surface-free-energy minimization relevant to equilibrium reproduces experimentally observed behavior during growth and evaporation in a homogeneous environment.Keywords
