Crystal Growth: Principles of Crystallization

2.8K
Crystallization is a phase transformation process in which crystals are precipitated from a supersaturated solution or formed from other sources. During crystallization, atoms or molecules arrange themselves into a well-defined, rigid crystal lattice to minimize energy.
Initiating crystallization involves manipulating the concentration of the solute and the temperature of the solution. Since crystal growth occurs when the ratio of concentration and solubility of the solute in the solvent...

Ziegler–Natta Chain-Growth Polymerization: Overview01:17

Ziegler–Natta Chain-Growth Polymerization: Overview

3.5K
Ziegler–Natta polymerization is another form of addition or chain‐growth polymerization used for synthesizing linear polymers over branched polymers. The catalyst used for polymerization is the Ziegler–Natta catalyst, named after Karl Ziegler and Giulio Natta, who developed it in 1953. This catalyst is an organometallic complex of titanium tetrachloride and triethyl aluminum, with the active form of the catalyst being an alkyl titanium compound. Using the Ziegler–Natta...

Porosity and Absorption of Aggregate01:20

Porosity and Absorption of Aggregate

424
Aggregates contain pores of varying sizes; while some are completely enclosed within the particles, others open onto the surface, allowing water to penetrate. The porosity of aggregates is a major factor contributing to the overall porosity of concrete, given that aggregates constitute about three-quarters of concrete's volume.
When all pores in an aggregate are filled with water, the aggregate is considered saturated and surface-dry. If left in dry air, water will evaporate until the...

Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Computational Chemistry
  • Crystallography

Background:

  • Crystal growth simulations are crucial for understanding material properties.
  • Stacking faults and disorder significantly impact crystal habit and surface topography.
  • Existing simulation methods may not fully capture the effects of disorder on crystal growth.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and present a kinetic Monte-Carlo methodology for simulating crystal growth in materials with stacking faults.
  • To explore the influence of disorder on crystal habit and nanoscale surface topography.
  • To validate the simulation results against experimental data for intergrown zeolite materials.

Main Methods:

  • A kinetic Monte-Carlo methodology was employed to simulate crystal growth and dissolution events.
  • The CrystalGrower software package was modified to incorporate disorder.
  • Simulations were performed on intergrown zeolite T and zeolite beta structures.
  • Results were validated using scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, and X-ray diffraction.

Main Results:

  • The simulations demonstrated that intergrown structures lead to characteristic roughening of specific crystal facets in both zeolite T and zeolite beta.
  • In zeolite beta, internal defects with a non-homogeneous distribution were observed.
  • The simulated crystal habit and nanoscale surface topography changes due to disorder were successfully explored.
  • Validation against experimental data confirmed the accuracy of the simulation methodology.

Conclusions:

  • The developed kinetic Monte-Carlo methodology effectively simulates crystal growth in materials with stacking faults.
  • Disorder, particularly in intergrown structures, significantly influences crystal habit and surface morphology.
  • The simulation approach provides a generally applicable tool for studying various crystal systems and their defects.
