Thermodynamic Study of Crystal Growth Behavior Based on Structural Analysis of Chemical Bonds

Article Preview

Abstract:

Crystallization is a universal phenomenon in modern industry and has been developed into a core discipline. Investigation of the crystal formation has also increasingly become a vital subject in the field of materials science and technology. The crystal shape may be successfully varied by controlling its crystallization conditions, but there is far less understanding of how the crystal shape is modified. Thermodynamics of crystal growth behavior was developed to investigate the ideal shape of inorganic crystals on the basis of structural analysis of chemical bonds. The present work can help us to comprehend the crystal growth process and further guide the manipulation of crystal shape.
