Abstract

A new method was proposed to increase the crystallization rate in growing single crystals of quartz. In this method, the crystallization is accelerated by using surfactants (polyethyleneamine, tetramethylammonium base, and polyethyleneimine) added to a soda-alkaline solution of standard concentration. Within studied ranges of pressures and concentrations of components of the solution, polyethyleneimine at a concentration of 0.002–0.05 wt % is the most efficient crystallization accelerator, which can increase the quartz crystal growth rate on the average by a factor of 2.
