Study Notes
Solution Growth
- Solution growth is a simple method to grow many crystalline materials, especially those highly soluble.
- Low temperature solution growth is suitable for materials that decompose at high temperatures and undergo phase transformations below their melting point.
- Two methods of low temperature solution growth are slow cooling and slow evaporation.
- Slow evaporation is a simple and convenient method for growing large single crystals.
- Slow evaporation can produce strain and dislocation-free crystals.
- Slow evaporation can create prismatic crystals by adjusting growth conditions.
- Slow evaporation is the only method for substances that decompose before melting.
- Varying evaporation rates can affect crystal quality.
Slow Cooling Method
- Slow cooling is the easiest method for growing bulk single crystals from solution.
- Only a vessel containing the solution is required for crystal growth.
- Crystallization typically begins between 45°C and 75°C.
- The lower limit of cooling is room temperature.
