Three-dimensional mineral dendrites reveal a nonclassical crystallization pathway

Mesocrystals and Nonclassical Crystallization

Mesocrystals and Nonclassical Crystallization

This chapter presents a history of observations that crystallization can go well beyond the simple ‘expected’ behaviour found in the salt cellar or when you buy a chemical. Biomorphs, crystal gardens, ‘crystal souls’, but also the remarkable pattern and structures of biominerals made researchers think that there is something beyond the concept of the bare three-dimensional regularity of molecul...

Scaling behavior of three-dimensional dendrites

The scaling behavior of geometry parameters in three-dimensional dendritic growth is investigated through a detailed measurement of the morphology of pure succinonitrile dendrites grown on the first microgravity flight of the isothermal dendritic growth experiment @M. E. Glicksman, M. B. Koss, and E. A. Winsa, Phys. Rev. Lett. 73, 573 ~1993!#. Measurements are performed of the integral paramete...

The Three-Dimensional Morphology of Growing Dendrites

The processes controlling the morphology of dendrites have been of great interest to a wide range of communities, since they are examples of an out-of-equilibrium pattern forming system, there is a clear connection with battery failure processes, and their morphology sets the properties of many metallic alloys. We determine the three-dimensional morphology of free growing metallic dendrites usi...

Three-Dimensional Image of A Communicating Uterus

Recent advances in reproductive medicine have created a demand for more accurate and safe imaging modalities before assisted reproductive treatment(ART) (1). Gradually, the important role of three-dimensional (3D) ultrasonography in the diagnosis of uterine congenital anomalies has been proved (2-4).
