Description
Summary:In quartz crystals grown on Z-cut hexagonal seeds in Na 2CO 3 solution, relations between specific sizes on as-grown crystal and growth rates normal to principal faces, R, r, m, Z , were formulated by two procedures; geometrical scheme on crystal form and crystal growth scheme by computer experiments. Growth rates, gr( R), gr( r), gr( m), gr( Z), were evaluated respectively to be 0.017, 0.046, 0.0016, 0.25 (mm/d). The growth rates obtained by two procedures agreed reasonably. The drawing of crystal forms in the growing process was tried by computer simulation as a function of growth time under the given seed size and evaluated growth rates. It was confirmed that the growing crystal form can be predicted by computer drawings as a function of growth time under the given conditions.
