OUTLINE Liquid/solid interface Crystal growth of single element solids Crystal growth methods
先进材料疑固实验室 Liquid/Solid interface Laboratory of Advanced Materials Solidification Crystal growth from liquid is an essential Solid Liquid step in the process of solidification. Crystal growth is virtually a process of transferring atoms from liquid to solid. Similar to nucleation,this step can determine how fast the solidification is and the microstructure of the solid resulting from the solidification. nced Matere 上浒充通大学 SHANGHAI JIAO TONG UNIVERSITY

先进材料疑固实验室 Liquid/Solid interface Laboratory of Advanced Materials Solidification The thermodynamic driving force of crystal growth is the difference in the Solid Liquid Gibbs free energies of the solid and liquid,△Gv. The barrier of crystal growth is the free energy increase,Q,in transferring G atoms across the solid/liquid interface. Its magnitude is dependent on the nature of the solid/liquid interface. This free energy barrier is also often called the activation energy for crystal growth. 上浒充通大学 SHANGHAI JIAO TONG UNIVERSITY
