Basics of single crystal growth techniques

"Basics of single crystal growth techniques" is an ideal textbook written in a form of readily accessible to undergraduate, graduate students and Ph.D scholars of crystallography, physics, chemistry, materials science & engineering. It is also a valuable resource for all scientists concerned with crystal growth and materials engineering. This new textbook provides for the first time a comprehensive treatment of the basics of single crystal growth techniques. The reader will be familiarized with the concepts for the description of growing methods of single crystals. The basics understanding about nucleation process and architecture of growth methods of crystals are clearly illustrated in this book. The main single crystal growth techniques like melt growth and solution growth are described. Nucleation processes, their kinetics and main growth mechanism are explained in this book.
