Abstract:
A review. A theor. treatise is given on crystal growth. Among the topics treated are: the equil. between a crystal and its mother phase, the equil. form of a crystal, the adhesion energy (Dupre formula) and the wetting of a crystal, the thermodn. and kinetics of homogeneous and heterogeneous nucleation, the nucleation of polymorphs and the Ostwald ripening, elementary growth mechanisms of certain crystal faces, and the effect of impurities on the crystal morphol. and habit.
