Crystal growth is the process by which atoms arrange themselves in a highly ordered, repeating pattern to form a crystal. This process occurs in various natural and synthetic materials, including minerals, metals, and semiconductors. The study of crystal growth involves understanding the mechanisms that control and influence the formation of crystals, as well as the conditions under which they can grow. Researchers in this field seek to develop methods for controlling the size, shape, and properties of crystals for applications in various industries, including electronics, materials science, and pharmaceuticals. Additionally, crystal growth research plays a crucial role in advancing our understanding of fundamental scientific principles related to the behavior of materials at the atomic level.
