Standard crystal growth

The cleanliness of the surface produced by emulsifiable cleaners is rarely of a very high standard, and additional cleaning may well be necessary before further finishing operations. Success has been achieved, however, in the use of these products prior to some immersion phosphating operations, where the crystal growth can be quite refined due to the absence of the passivation effect often encountered with some heavy-duty alkali cleaners. The supplier of the phosphating solution should be asked to advise on the suitability of any particular cleaning/pretreatment combination. 

Crystal Growth and Solid State Synthesis of Oxide Superconductors 235 Table II. Summary of standard fluxes. 

In this monograph, a number of notations, units, and abbreviations will be used, and they are summarized in Appendix A. It contains lists of notations for crystal orientations, process parameters for CVD, analytical techniques, CVD reactors, crystal growth, and carbon materials in addition to a description of standard diamond film characterizations, i.e. Raman spectroscopy and cathodoluminescence (CL). The readers are recommended to just quickly read through Appendix A at this point. 

We first present a simple model that estimates the matter fluxes in a snow sample submitted to temperature gradients, and address the faceting issue by using standard concepts of crystal growth. We then describe a TG experiment, followed by X-ray microtomographic measurements that give 3D images of the metamorphosed snow structures. Then, we apply our model to one of the obtained snow samples, in order to check its validity. 

Surface-growth coefficients. Much research on the growth of crystals by the interfacial reaction has been done and reported in standard monographs on crystallization. Although a coherent theory of crystal growth has evolved, numerical data on of a kind that can be used in design are scarce. 

A primary conclusion from the above results is that the standard methods for determining intrinsic crystal growth rates are well-suited for biochemical compounds. At present there are limited data on which to generalize with respect to growth mechanisms and the effects of various thermodynamic variables. Indeed, the large number of variables that may affect solubility and kinetics in these systems suggests that extensive and careful laboratory studies...
