How to achieve directional crystal growth?
Thread Content
Question: 1. How to achieve directional crystal growth to produce rod-shaped products； 2. What are the main controlling factors? ； 3. What specific additives need to be added (such as surfactants, etc.) ； 4. Please upload specific examples and literature. :'(
Does what was said upstairs refer to single crystals? Shandong University seems to be doing well in this regard.
It mainly controls the crystallization rate and the number of seed crystals.
Directed growth along a single crystal axis can be promoted by adjusting the composition of the synthesis solution, the type of template agent, and the process conditions.
