Abstract
The challenge is to find a reliable description of a growth unit and its environment that is computationally cheap, informative and involves as little neighbouring growth units as possible. We explain how the environment of a growth unit can be defined, how we found optimal local order parameters, and we discuss some published and some new results. Our discussion is based on molecular simulation, mostly of Lennard-Jones crystals.
