  2. Crystallization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystallization

    Growth rate is influenced by several physical factors, such as surface tension of solution, pressure, temperature, relative crystal velocity in the solution, Reynolds number, and so forth. The main values to control are therefore: Supersaturation value, as an index of the quantity of solute available for the growth of the crystal;

  3. Crystal growth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_growth

    For perceptible growth rates, this mechanism requires a finite driving force (or degree of supercooling) in order to lower the nucleation barrier sufficiently for nucleation to occur by means of thermal fluctuations. [5] In the theory of crystal growth from the melt, Burton and Cabrera have distinguished between two major mechanisms: [6] [7] [8]

  4. In vitro models for calcification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_vitro_models_for...

    The volume of titrants added to maintain the pH is proportional to the quantity of crystallization sites and the supersaturation degree of the solution. The titrant addition rate will determine the mass deposition of crystals onto the tissue. This model does not provide the flow or the mechanical stimuli to the tissue. Both flow and mechanical ...

    The table below shows that the growth rate is higher for Sclair 14B.1 than Sclair 2907 (20%), where 2907 is less highly branched than 14B.1. [8] Here Gc is the crystal growth rate, or how quickly it orders itself depending on the layers, and t is the time it takes to order.

  6. Protein crystallization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protein_crystallization

    For over 150 years, scientists from all around the world have known about the crystallization of protein molecules. [6]In 1840, Friedrich Ludwig Hünefeld accidentally discovered the formation of crystalline material in samples of earthworm blood held under two glass slides and occasionally observed small plate-like crystals in desiccated swine or human blood samples.

  7. Ostwald ripening - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ostwald_ripening

    In the process, many small crystals formed initially (nuclei) slowly disappear, except for a few that grow larger, at the expense of the small crystals (crystal growth). The smaller crystals act as fuel for the growth of bigger crystals. Limiting Ostwald ripening is fundamental in modern technology for the solution synthesis of quantum dots. [17]

  9. Stranski–Krastanov growth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stranski–Krastanov_growth

    Stranski–Krastanov growth (SK growth, also Stransky–Krastanov or 'Stranski–Krastanow') is one of the three primary modes by which thin films grow epitaxially at a crystal surface or interface. Also known as 'layer-plus-island growth', the SK mode follows a two step process: initially, complete films of adsorbates , up to several ...
