Abstract
The morphological characteristics of alpha-Al2O3 crystallites obtained directly from hydro/solv othermal solvents are reported and the forma tion mechanisms of corundum morphology are discussed from crystal grow th and crystal chemistry principles. The crystal growth process is con sidered as a process of incorporation of growth units on the growth in terfaces, and the crystal morphology is determined by the linkage of t he coordinated polyhedra.
