Crystal Growth from Vapor

Crystal growth from vapor refers to the process where gas molecules accumulate and form solid crystals. This occurs when specific conditions—like temperature and pressure—allow the vapor to cool and become supersaturated. As the vapor cools, molecules collide and stick together, gradually forming a solid structure. This method is often used to create high-quality crystals, such as those in electronics or gemstones. The process is influenced by factors like temperature variations and the presence of impurities, which can affect the size and shape of the resulting crystals.
