Module 5: Schlieren and Shadowgraph
  Lecture 31: Results and discussion related to crystal growth (part 1)
 

The growth rate of the crystal is related to concentration gradients, rather than concentration alone. This aspect is explored in Figure 5.22.

Figure 5.22: (a) Variation of normalized concentration gradients near the three faces of the growing cystal, (b) horizontal growth of the crystal relative to its maximum size as a function of time, and (c) photographs of grown crystals with and without crystal rotation. (Ramp rate= )
