Crystal Growth Techniques

Crystal growth techniques refer to the methods used to create crystals, which are solid materials where atoms are arranged in a highly ordered pattern. Common techniques include the slow cooling of a hot solution (like sugar in water), vapor deposition (where molecules settle from a gas onto a surface), and melt growth (where a substance is melted and then cooled). These techniques are vital in various fields, such as electronics, pharmaceuticals, and materials science, as the size and quality of crystals can significantly affect the properties and performance of the final product.
