Enhancement of metastable zone width for solution growth of potassium acid phthalate

Effect of Amino Acid Additives on Crystal Growth Parameters and Properties of Ammonium Dihydrogen Phosphate Crystals

“…The experimental results of induction period for pure and doped ADP solutions are presented in Figure 3. Considering the principles of homogeneous and heterogeneous nucleation theories, the free energy of formation of a nucleus under heterogeneous nucleation is less than that of a homogeneous condition (Sangwal 1996;Srinivasan et al 1999). Considering the additive added system it can be noticed that the induction period of doped ADP is higher than that of pure and it increases with the increase in the additive concentration.…”

Attainment of growth stability through the widening of Ostwold–Mier's zone width: A novel technique

“…Enhancement of metastable zone width due to the addition of 1 wt% of EDTA was first realized in KAP solution by Srinivasan et al [18]. In the present work, metastable zone widths are measured for pure and 1 wt%, 2 wt% EDTA and H 2 O 2 added Ba(NO 3 ) 2 solutions.…”

“…Considering the principles of homogeneous and heterogeneous nucleation theories, the free energy of formation of a nucleus under heterogeneous nucleation is less than that of a homogeneous condition [20,21]. Considering the EDTA and H 2 O 2 added systems, it can be noticed as in Figs.…”

Enhancement of stability of growth, structural and NLO properties of KDP crystals due to additive along with seed rotation

“…The experimental values of τ versus C/C o are plotted in figure 2. Considering the principles of homogeneous and heterogeneous nucleation theories, the free energy of formation of a nucleus under heterogeneous nucleation is less than that of a homogeneous condition [23,24]. Considering the additive added system it can be noticed that the induction period of doped KDP is higher than that of pure and it increases with the increase in the additive concentration.…”
