The objective of the proposed research is to use numerical models of crystallization processes to further understand the origins of layering in igneous rocks. The emphasis is on a post-nucleation process termed crystal aging (Ostwald ripening) that can give rise to fine-scale layering as a result of rhythmic long-range order related to dissolution of small crystals and growth of larger crystals. The results of this research should increase understanding of the petrogenesis and origin of layered mafic and ultramafic intrusions, which are the major source of the platinum group elements.

提出的研究目的是利用结晶过程的数值模型来进一步了解火成岩分层的起源。重点是被称为晶体老化（奥斯特瓦尔德成熟）的后成核过程，它可以产生精细尺度的分层，这是与小晶体溶解和大晶体生长有关的有节奏的长期顺序的结果。这一研究结果将有助于进一步认识层状基性和超基性侵入岩的成因，它们是铂族元素的主要来源。
