A modification of Stober's apparatus is presented for growing crystals in a laboratory chamber furnace. In addition to simplicity, the proposed apparatus has the following advantages: (a) absence of mechanical shocks; (b) spontaneous change and self-adjusting to most convenient crystallisation rate of the substance; (c) possibility of growing crystals in vacuum or an inert atmosphere. A formula for the crystallisation rate has been derived and analysed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
