Abstract

Crystals reveal a large variety of shapes, depending on the chemical composition and the structure of crystals, and the growth conditions. To predict precisely the growth morphology of crystals remains a challenging issue for both academia and industry. In this paper, the principles for predicting the growth morphology of crystals based on the best available theories are highlighted and demonstrated.
