Crystallisation from melts Why do crystals form? What controls their shape and size? Three aspects to the growth of a crystal are Nucleation: formation of a stable nucleus Diffusion of material to the nucleus Growth of the crystal by adding atoms The slowest of these three aspects generally controls the shape and size Different types of crystals If diffusion is slow, the crystal grows spikes to get at the new material needed forms a dendrite or a skeletal crystal If nucleation is the restriction (a) spherulites can form (many radiating crystals grow from one nucleus or (b) a few large cryst
