. Guide to Growing a Single Crystal
Overview:
As you may discover, growing single crystals takes patience as well as an artful hand.
Crystallizations can be very sensitive to temperature and minor disturbances. Therefore, you will be
encouraged to try several different temperatures, using otherwise identical conditions, and to always
find a quiet undisturbed location to promote crystal growth. Here are some tried and true tips to get
you started.
Option #1
• Sometimes nice crystals will grow simply by cooling your solution. You can also try
supersaturating a solution by heating it until all of the material dissolves, then allowing it to
cool down slowly.
Option #2
1) Find a solvent that pound is soluble in, and make a saturated solution.
2) If necessary, perform a filtration to remove insoluble impurities. For such small scales, a
good filter can be made by plugging a disposabl
