Explanation

It refers to the process of crystal growing from small to large (nucleation and growth) in the medium (liquid or gas) in which it grows. The prerequisite is that the medium must have a certain degree of supercooling or supersaturation. With the development of science and technology, crystal growth is also used to refer to the technology of preparing crystalline materials by controlling thermodynamics conditions such as temperature, pressure and composition, and necessary dynamic conditions such as heat and mass transfer, using the principle of phase transformation.
