Abstract

Deviated from the normal way of crystal growth in gels, in the method reported, a two-stage chemical reaction in the gel has been made use of. In the first stage, one of the nutrients is incorporated in the gel as a colloidal precipitate and the other nutrient is allowed to diffuse into the gel and to produce the crystals in the second state. The reaction between the colloidal precipitate and the second nutrient is very similar to that between two nutrient solutions. This type of reaction has been found advantageous for growing large needles and single crystals of lead chloride.
