Crystallization growth mechanisms

Unfortunately, we do not know enough to explain the mechanism of action of these crystal modifiers in each case. Instead, let us look at what we know about crystal growth mechanism and propose some ideas regarding the action of hydrocolloids.

As explained above, three fundamental models of crystal growth mechanism were established in relation to the roughness of interfaces these are illustrated in Fig. 3.14. At present, there is no other known growth mechanism that is essentially different from these three. Therefore, we shall analyze the morphology of crystals, the main topic of this book, based on these three growth mechanisms.

In Chapter 6, precipitation from a solvent was discussed. This subject, which includes nucleation and crystal growth, has the same fundamentals as precipitation from the melt. Crystal growth mechanisms are summarized in Table 16.11. These mechanisms include diffusion.

Coarser biogenic ZnS nanoparticles are commonly twinned on very fine scales. We suggest that these microstructures arise as the result of an aggregation-based crystal growth mechanism (see below), probably commencing with clusters analogous to those described by Luther et al. (1999). 

Large single crystals are indispensable for structural analysis, studies of crystal growth mechanism, adsorption and diffusion, the determination of optical and electrical...
