2. Crystal growth - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_growth

   Crystal growth is a major stage of a crystallization process, and consists of the addition of new atoms, ions, or polymer strings into the characteristic arrangement ...

3. Shaping processes in crystal growth - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaping_processes_in...

   Shaping processes in crystal growth are a collection of techniques for growing bulk crystals of a defined shape from a melt, usually by constraining the shape of the liquid meniscus by means of a mechanical shaper. Crystals are commonly grown as fibers, solid cylinders, hollow cylinders (or tubes), and sheets (or plates).

4. Flux method - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flux_method

   The flux method is a crystal growth method where starting materials are dissolved in a solvent (flux), and are precipitated out to form crystals of a desired compound. The flux lowers the melting point of the desired compound, analogous to a wet chemistry recrystallization. [1]

5. Kyropoulos method - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kyropoulos_method

   The Kyropoulos method, also known as the KY method or Kyropoulos technique, is a method of bulk crystal growth used to obtain single crystals.. The largest application of the Kyropoulos method is to grow large boules of single crystal sapphire used to produce substrates for the manufacture gallium nitride-based LEDs, and as a durable optical material.

6. Czochralski method - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Czochralski_method

   The Czochralski method, also Czochralski technique or Czochralski process, is a method of crystal growth used to obtain single crystals of semiconductors (e.g. silicon, germanium and gallium arsenide), metals (e.g. palladium, platinum, silver, gold), salts and synthetic gemstones.

7. Crystallization - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystallization

   Time-lapse of growth of a citric acid crystal. The video covers an area of 2.0 by 1.5 mm and was captured over 7.2 min. The crystallization process consists of two major events, nucleation and crystal growth which are driven by thermodynamic properties as well as chemical properties.

8. Shape control in nanocrystal growth - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shape_control_in_nano...

   The growth of crystals can be carried out under two different regimes: the thermodynamic and the kinetic regime. Research on this topic is mainly centered around nanocrystals, as their synthesis is not as straightforward as that of bulk materials and thus requires a deeper understanding of types of crystal growth.

9. Crystal - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal

   The process of crystal formation via mechanisms of crystal growth is called crystallization or solidification. The word crystal derives from the Ancient Greek word κρύσταλλος (krustallos), meaning both "ice" and "rock crystal", [3] from κρύος (kruos), "icy cold, frost". [4] [5]
