Abstract
Growth of single crystals of strontium tartrate tetrahydrate by controlled diffusion in silica gels has been narrated. In the field of material science, there is always a keen and competitive race to grow perfect single crystals with sufficient purity and perfection. Successful attempts to larger as well as more perfect crystals of SrTr are described in this paper and thus probably the largest (about 2 in. across) ever grown size of gel-grown products is reported here. The effect of several parameters, e.g. crystallization apparatus, environmental temperature, reactant concentration, gel density, gel-ageing and gel pH, on the size, quality and morphology of the crystals has also been studied.
