Crystals: Growth, Morphology, & Perfection
Abstract
How do crystals nucleate and grow? Why and how do crystals form such a wide variety of morphologies, from polyhedral to dendritic and spherulitic forms? These are questions that have been posed since the seventeenth century, and are still of vital importance today both for modern technology, and to understand the Earth's interior and the formation of minerals by living organisms. In this book, Ichiro Sunagawa sets out clearly the atomic processes behind crystal growth, and describes case studies of complex systems from diamond, calcite and pyrite, to crystals formed through biomineralization, such as the aragonite of shells, and apatite of teeth. Essential reading for advanced graduates and researchers in mineralogy and materials science.

The transition from spheroidal to euhedral carbonate morphology reflects a driving force reduction during continued crystal growth and may be related to cooling and/or decrease in carbonate saturation.
“The transition from spheroidal to euhedral carbonate morphology reflects a driving force reduction during continued crystal growth (Sunagawa, 2005) and may be related to cooling and/or decrease in carbonate saturation.”

The carbonate morphology is in agreement with a strong driving force causing spherical growth instead of sub- to euhedral Mg-carbonate that is frequently observed in similar alteration systems elsewhere.
“Indeed, the carbonate morphology is in agreement with a strong driving force causing spherical growth instead of sub- to euhedral Mg-carbonate that is frequently observed in similar alteration systems elsewhere (Beinlich et al., 2012; Hansen et al., 2005; Sunagawa, 2005).”

The listvenite carbonate spheroids also precipitated at relatively high supersaturation, resulting in growth competition between adjacent grain sectors and the spheroidal crystal habit as well as the less frequently observed dendritic texture of the magnesite.
“Thus, we infer that the listvenite carbonate spheroids also precipitated at relatively high supersaturation, resulting in growth competition between adjacent grain sectors and the spheroidal crystal habit as well as the less frequently observed dendritic texture of the magnesite (Fig. S5) (Haque et al., 2016; Sunagawa, 2005).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
