Abstract
An improved version of the known temperature difference (Delta T) tech nique of crystallization from solution is presented. A Peltier device was used to control the local temperature of nucleation, dissolution a nd growth in order to reduce typically occurring delay times in the nu cleation process within a given sample tube and to tailor the size of the single crystals to be obtained.
