Principles and Practice. This introductory book teaches readers about crystals and their origins. It offers a historical perspective of the subject and includes background information whenever possible. The author covers nucleation, two-dimensional layer growth mechanism, defects in crystals, screw dislocation theory of crystal growth, and phase diagrams. He also presents the experimental techniques of crystal growth. He discusses the major techniques categorized by solidsolid, liquidsolid, and vaporsolid equilibria and describes characterization techniques essential to measuring the quality of grown crystals.
