What makes a crystal?● Ordered● Exotic variations:

– Aperiodic

– Liquid

– Colloidal

– Time crystals

Why study crystallization?● Separation● Fouling● Characterization● Production

How do you grow a crystal?

● Solid growth– Annealing

– Gel growth

– Whiskering

● Melt growth– Freezing

– Kryopoulos, Czochralski, and Bridgman techniques

– Floating zone

● Growth from solution– Precipitation

● Vapor growth– Deposition– Vapor transport– Precipitation– Vapor-Liquid-Solid

● Other Considerations– Biomineralization– Naturally formed– Microgravity
