Infos

Crystal growth technology involves processes for the production of
crystals essential for microelectronics, communication
technologies, lasers and energy producing and energy saving
technology. A deliberately added impurity is called an additive and
in different industries these affect the process of crystal growth.
Thus, understanding of interactions between additives and the
crystallizing phases is important in different processes found in
the lab, nature and in various industries.

This book presents a generalized description of the mechanisms
of action of additives during nucleation, growth and aggregation of
crystals during crystallization and has received endorsement from
the President of the International Organization for Crystal Growth.
It is the first text devoted to the role of additives in different
crystallization processes encountered in the lab, nature and in
industries as diverse as pharmaceuticals, food and biofuels.

A unique highlight of the book are chapters on the effect of
additives on crystal growth processes, since the phenomena
discussed is an issue of debate between researchers
