| Abstract | Single crystals of insoluble substances were grown in zero-g by allowing two or more reactant solutions to diffuse toward each other through a region of pure solvent. Under zero-g conditions convection and sedimentation are eliminated and diffusion controls the crystal growth process. Excessive nucleation and contamination of the crystals are suppressed. Results indicate that crystals of improved quality and size were produced, but that more precise temperature control and longer growth times are needed to further suppress nucleation. A better understanding of crystal growth theory was achieved. |
