Abstract
Crystal growth under non-equilibrium conditions can give rise to complex patterns which are generically similar to those found in processes such as viscous fingering, aggregation and electrochemical deposition. Recent theoretical understanding focuses on the interplay between the macroscopic driving force associated with the phase transition and the microscopic interfacial dynamics.
