crystal growth  

Definition

  • Crystal growth is the process of forming a crystal, either in a natural environment or synthetically. It leads to crystallisation, which is the transition from a disordered liquid (molten compound, dissolved in a solvent), gas or solid (glass) state to an ordered solid state.
