Description: This book is the first monograph that systematically describes macroscopic crystallization theory. The theory developed is based on the concept of stable growth and on the fundamental Lyapunov stability theory. The internal stabilising crystallization rate implies a more perfect crystal. The characteristic feature of the theory presented is its use in solving the practical problems that occur in the process of crystal growth. The theory is developed for the shaping mechanisms - Stepanov, Czochralski, Verneuil and floating-zone techniques. Many of the theoretical recommendations are experimentally validated and the practical issues of steady-state crystal growth are discussed. Research workers in the fields of solid-state physics and fluid mechanics will find this authoritative volume an invaluable reference source.
