a semi-batch crystallization system is used to determine growth kinetics and morphology of barium carbonate crystals, under a constant ph value and constant temperature in the various relative supersaturations. results show that crystal growth rate satisfies a first-order kinetic expression at high relative supersaturation, while at relative supersaturation values lower than 3,  the kinetic exp...

this mini review article, intends to provide the essential information about microemulsion technique as a reliable approach toward the synthesis of zeolitic nano crystallites. the strategy discussed here provides a unique, effective, and potentially general methodology to the preparation of uniform and high purity nano crystallites of template-free zeolitic materials including lta, faujasite ty...

crystalline antimony sulfide (sb2s3) with nanorods morphology was successfully prepared via hydrothermal method by the reaction of elemental sulfur, antimony and iodine as starting materials with high yield at 180°c for 24h.using oxidation reagents like iodine as an initiator of redox reaction to prepare sb2s3 is reported for first time. crystal growth of sb2s3 was done by increasing reaction t...

crystallization of aluminum fluoride at atmospheric pressure has been considered. structure, size and shape of crystals formed during the crystallization process have been investigated. by applying the direct analysis method for the existed aluminum in solution, the aluminum fluoride nucleation process has been detected as a concentration valley at the outset of crystallization process. the lin...

Crystal size distribution (CSD) in metamorphic rocks provide fundamental information about crystal nucleation and growth rate, growth time and the degree of overstepping. CSD data for garnet, staurolite, kyanite and andalusite crystals from the aureole demonstrate that the earliest formed of these minerals, garnet, has the highest population density and the shortest growth time. The last formed...

background: similar to the thermoluminescence (tl) spectra, the optical parameters variations can also be used in tl crystals for dosimetry purposes. these optical parameters can include absorption, transmission and reflection coefficients. materials and methods: single crystals of kbr and kcl which have been used in this research were grown from laboratory grade extra pure precursor powders. c...

manufactured single crystal components using ni-base super alloys are routinely used in the hotsections of aero engines and industrial gas turbines due to their outstanding high temperaturestrength, toughness and resistance to degradation in corrosive and oxidative environments. tocontrol the quality of the single crystal turbine blades, particular attention has been paid to grainselection, whi...
