Abstract

The design and construction of a growth cell for the precision measurement of face-specific single-crystal growth rates are presented. Accurate mechanical drawings in SolidWorks of the cell and individual components are provided, together with relevant construction models. A general methodology for its use in the measurement of single-crystal growth rates and their underpinning growth mechanism is presented and illustrated with representative data provided for the crystal growth of the {011} and {001} faces of RS-ibuprofen single crystals grown in ethanolic solutions. Analysis of these data highlights the utility of the methodology in morphological model development and crystallization process design.
