Provides an understanding of both basic and more advanced principles and concepts of crystal growth using a direct style of exposition succeeded by systematic and comprehensible applications of these in the actual crystallization of Groups 1 and 2 compounds from solution in melts at high temperatures. Explores final crystal numbers and sizes, systematic quantitative experimental studies on solute and solvent interactions, nucleation processes and crystallization kinetics. A mathematical model for calculating diffusion coefficients and, from there, kinetic and thermodynamic parameters for diffusion-controlled crystal growth that can accurately predict the exact distance of separation between a diffusing particle and its hosts in melts are presented.
