Abstract

Experiments on microgravity crystal growth in gradient magnetic fields for nickel sulfate and lysozyme are compared with finite element simulations. These simulations include the inhomogeneous effective gravity that accompanied the magnet experiments. An excellent agreement between the simulations and the experiments was found. Methods to reduce the adverse effects of the inhomogeneous effective gravity and to optimize the growth conditions are discussed.
