THE GENERATION OF SCIENCE-BASED TECHNOLOGY IN THE FIELD OF CRYSTALLIZATION,
Abstract
The paper is concerned with the reorientation of the field of crystallization to a science-based, as opposed to an art-based, technology. A summary of the fields of science and the general knowledge which are necessary to engineer a crystallization application is followed by a discussion of the Crystallogenics approach and its successes. Finally, consideration is given to present exploitation opportunities in the areas of materials purification and concentration; single crystal growth, with particular attention given to the growth of silicon webs, large selenium single crystals, and large sapphire single crystals; and structure control of ingots and castings.
