crystallization kinetics

Crystallization kinetics refers to how quickly and efficiently a substance forms organized, repeating structures called crystals from a liquid or dissolved state. This process depends on factors like temperature, concentration, and the presence of impurities. Understanding these rates helps in controlling the quality and properties of materials such as pharmaceuticals, metals, and ceramics. Essentially, it describes the speed and mechanism by which particles come together to solidify into a well-defined crystal structure, guiding how materials are processed and optimized for their intended use.
