AbstractDisappearance of a stacking fault in the hard-sphere (HS) crystal under gravity has successfully been demonstrated by Monte Carlo (MC) simulations. We previously found that a less ordered (or defective) crystal formed above a bottom ordered crystal under stepwise controlled gravity [Mori et al. J. Chem. Phys. 124, 174507 (2006)]. A defect in the upper defective region has been identified with a stacking fault for the <001> growth. During conversion of the defective region into the ordered region, the stacking fault have been diminishing. We have observed strains of the crystal, which cooperate with gravity toward reduction of the stacking fault.
