Abstract
We study the limit shape of successive coronas of a tiling, which models the growth of crystals. We define basic terminologies and discuss the existence and uniqueness of corona limits, and then prove that corona limits are completely characterized by directional speeds. As an application, we give another proof that the corona limit of a periodic tiling is a centrally symmetric convex polyhedron [see Zhuravlev (St Petersbg Math J 13(2):201–220, 2002) and Maleev and Shutov (Layer-by-layer growth model for partitions, packings, and graphs, Tranzit-X, Vladimir, 2011)].
