Prinhciples for predicting the morphology of crystals and application to n-paraffin crystals

摘要

Crystals reveal a large variety of shpaes, depending on the chemicla compositon and the structure of crystals, and the growth conditions. To predict precisely the growth morphology of crystals remains a challenging issue for both academia anjd industry. In this paper, the principles for predicitng the growth morphology of crystals based on the best available theories are highlighted and demosntrated.
