„A welcome contribution to the literature on crystal growth. Itscontents can clearly serve a wide ranging audience includinggraduate students, postdoctoral investigators and teachers.“(Progress in Crystal Growth and Characterization ofMaterials, September 2008)
„This book is stimulating for both beginners and experts engagedin crystallization from solution ... .[A] very readable and anup-to-date research handbook.“ (Crystal Research andTechnology, September 2008)
Crystal growth technology involves processes for the production ofcrystals essential for microelectronics, communicationtechnologies, lasers and energy producing and energy savingtechnology. A deliberately added impurity is called an additive andin different industries these affect the process of crystal growth. Thus, understanding of interactions between additives and thecrystallizing phases is important in different processes found inthe lab, nature and in various industries. This book presents a generalized description of the mechanismsof action of additives during nucleation, growth and aggregation ofcrystals during crystallization and has received endorsement fromthe President of the International Organization for Crystal Growth. It is the first text devoted to the role of additives in differentcrystallization processes encountered in the lab, nature and inindustries as diverse as pharmaceuticals, food and biofuels.
A unique highlight of the book are chapters on the effect ofadditives on crystal growth processes, since the phenomenadiscussed is an issue of debate between researchers
