Abstract

Beyond fundamental aspects of crystal growth and morphology, the growth of minerals is a challenging subject because in most cases we face a problem with unknown growth conditions. Actually, in the field of geological studies, we have to decipher the growth conditions of a crystal using the information contained in the very crystal. One of these characteristics of crystals that contain information about their growth is their morphology and time evolution. In this article, we introduce the subject of crystal morphology by using three important minerals, calcite, halite and gypsum, as three didactic case studies to illustrate the application of the current knowledge in the field.

岩盐、方解石和石膏三种矿物生长形态的研究实例

除了晶体生长和形态的基本方面之外，矿物的生长是一个具有挑战性的课题，因为在大多数情况下，我们面临着未知生长条件的问题。实际上，在地质研究领域，我们必须利用晶体本身所包含的信息来破译晶体的生长条件。晶体包含其生长信息的这些特征之一是它们的形态和时间演变。在本文中，我们通过三种重要的矿物，方解石，岩盐和石膏，作为三个教学案例研究来介绍晶体形态的主题，以说明当前知识在该领域的应用。

期刊介绍： Materials especially crystalline materials provide the foundation of our modern technologically driven world. The domination of materials is achieved through detailed scientific research. Advances in the techniques of growing and assessing ever more perfect crystals of a wide range of materials lie at the roots of much of today''s advanced technology. The evolution and development of crystalline materials involves research by dedicated scientists in academia as well as industry involving a broad field of disciplines including biology, chemistry, physics, material sciences and engineering. Crucially important applications in information technology, photonics, energy storage and harvesting, environmental protection, medicine and food production require a deep understanding of and control of crystal growth. This can involve suitable growth methods and material characterization from the bulk down to the nano-scale.
