Abstract
TTF-TCNQ single crystals have been grown under microgravity conditions from solutions of TTF and TCNQ in acetonitrile in experiments perform ed on the NASA Long Duration Exposure Facility. Their habit is very di fferent from that obtained previously. The crystals are rectangular pl ates with the crystallographic b axis perpendicular to the plate. That is contrary to ground-based crystal growth experiments, in which the b axis is the preferred direction of growth.
