Heaney Department of Geosciences Princeton University Princeton, NJ 08544 peter@geo.princeton.edu Background Mineral shapes and sizes are spectacularly diverse, and the means by which depositional environments control crystal morphologies remains an exciting area of research. Some minerals never achieve crystal sizes beyond a micron (e.g., kaolinite, many Mn oxides), whereas others can grow as single crystals that weigh several tons and extend many meters from tip to toe(e.g., quartz, feldspar). Likewise, some minerals nearly always exhibit the same habit (e.g., the micas), while 300 different forms have been described for calcite alone. Most minerals show some variability in the habits they adopt, though sometimes the forms that have developed are hard to discern in natural rocks. In many slow-cooling igneous melts, for example, emergent nuclei crowd each other to the point that no single crystal can evolve a euhedral morphology; in the resulting cumulate textures, minerals are space-filling and can exhibit curvaceous boundaries. Even when parent rocks contain minerals with fully formed faces, erosive processes can erase the original morphology as minerals are recast in sedimentary deposits. Fortunately for the highly tuned esthetic sense of every mineralogist, many minerals do manage to attain ideal forms. Euhedral crystals are particularly common within rock cavities that have been flushed with supersaturated solutions or vapors. Geodes containing large, prismatic quartz crystals are a well-known example. Similarly, well-developed faces characterize phenocrysts that grow slowly within volcanic magma chambers. The high-temperature annealing that accompanies regional metamorphism can lead to the formation of distinct faces on pre-existing minerals, and the cementation that follows the percolation of fluids through sedimentary rocks can sharpen the boundaries of quartz and calcite grains. An enormous number of variables will constrain the shape of a growing crystal. Important factors include: 1) the temperature and pressure profile of the system; 2) the chemistry and structure of the mother phase (vapor, solution, or melt); 3)chemical and heat transport properties of the crystal and the mother phase; 4) the lattice symmetry of the crystal; 5) the surface structure of a given {hkl} face; and 6) the presence of defects on the growing face. Transport characteristics of the crystal and the solution are in turn influenced by the density, viscosity, and flow velocity of the parent solution, the growth rate of the crystal face, the area of the solid-solution interface, and the thickness of the boundary layer. For this laboratory, we will observe directly the role that the rate of crystallization plays in directing crystal shape. If we could perform this laboratory over geological time scales, we might attempt to duplicate the precipitation of common silicates from low-temperature fluids, as occurs in sedimentary environments. But we have only three hours, so we will work with materials that emulate natural crystal growth processes. In the first set of experiments, we will mix solutions from which euhedral crystals grow over one to two weeks. For the second set of experiments, we will observe disequilibrium crystallization over time scales of seconds. Warnings 1) Some of the chemicals used in the slow and fast growth experiments are toxic. Despite their pretty colors, none should be eaten, and hands should be washed following the lab. Likewise, tetrahydrofuran (THF) is an ether and should only be used in well-ventilated areas away from flames or high heat. 2) Liquid nitrogen can cause frostbite. Care should be taken to prevent splashing when pouring. Slow Growth Experiments Materials for each team of 2 to 3 people: 400-ml beaker Water (distilled if you have it) Stirring rod Weighing paper Balance Hot Plate Thread Kimwipe & Rubberband Compounds (Do not eat): 1) NaCl 5) KNaC4H4O6 . 4H2O Sodium chloride Potassium sodium tartrate hydrate Halite Rochelle salt 2) K3Fe(CN)6 6) C12H22O11 Potassium ferricyanide Sucrose Red prussiate of potash Table sugar 3) NaNO3 7) KAl(SO4)2 . 12H2O Sodium nitrate Alum Nitratite 4) Cu(CH3COO)2 . H2O Cupric acetate monohydrate General Procedure You will create supersaturated solutions by adding the powdered compounds to water in ratios specified below. The solutions will be heated and stirred until the solids have dissolved, and then the liquids will be allowed to cool to room temperature. If seed crystals are available, they can be secured by a thread in a slip knot and suspended in the solution from a stirring rod or pencil lying across the mouth of the beaker. A kimwipe should be placed over the top of the beaker and fastened with a rubber band to keep out dust. Solutions will be monitored over the next two weeks for crystal growth during solvent evaporation.

The vectors from the center of the cube to the 8 apices of the cube are normal to the {111} faces. What does this observation suggest about the growth rates of the {100} faces in comparison with the growth rates of the {111} faces? In general, do the best developed faces of a crystal grow more rapidly or less rapidly than the other faces? (Hint: The correct answer is counter-intuitive for most people.) 2) What are hopper crystals? Based on your answers to Question 1, how might you explain the development of these peculiar crystal morphologies? 3) Despite the complexity of the crystal growth process, a simple rule formulated by Auguste Bravais in 1860 successfully predicts crystal shapes based only on the translational lattice symmetry of the structure. A modern statement of that law (Zoltai and Stout, 1984) is as follows: The rate at which a crystal face {hkl} grows is inversely proportional to the interplanar spacing dhkl corresponding to that face. Does the prominence of the {100} family of faces for many cubic materials obey this law? Why or why not? 4) Based on Bravais's law, what is the most prominent face expected for: a) Galena (cubic: a = 5.94 ) b) Almandine (cubic: a = 11.53 ) c) Muscovite (monoclinic: a = 5.19 , b = 9.04 , c = 20.08, b = 95.5)? d) Zircon (tetragonal: a = 6.60 , c = 5.98 )? e) Quartz (hexagonal: a = 4.91 , c =5.41 )? According to Klein and Hurlbut, which faces are commonly observed in natural crystals of these minerals? Does Bravais's law successfully predict the shapes for all crystals? 5) Bravais's law may be rationalized in the following manner: The growth of a given crystal face is accomplished by the addition of individual unit cells to that face. The larger the area of attachment of a single unit cell, the stronger that attachment will be. The stronger the attachment, the faster the growth of that face. All primitive unit cells for a given lattice must have the same volume. If Ahkl represents the area of an hkl face for a primitive cell, and dhkl represents the interplanar hkl spacing, what is the volume for that unit cell? Does dhkl vary directly or inversely with Ahkl? By this logic, can you explain the basis for Bravais's law? 6) The equilibrium crystal shape for a mineral obeys the point group symmetry that characterizes the mineral. The space group symmetries for the crystals grown in these experiments are as follows: Compound Space Group Halite Fm3m Potassium Ferricyanide P21/c Sodium Nitrate Rc Cupric Acetate A2/a Rochelle Salt P21212 Sucrose P21 What are the crystal classes associated with these space groups (see Table 3.5 in Klein and Hurlbut)? Using this information, list the sets of ideal forms that might be expected for each compound. 7) One theory that attempts to incorporate the effects of atomic structure in crystal growth processes is called the periodic bond chain (PBC) theory. Many materials contain chains of atoms that are linked by strong chemical bonds. Silicates typically contain these chains as networks of silica tetrahedra. When atoms attach to a growing crystal so as to extend the chain, the attachment is strong and the growth in that direction is fast. What is the expected morphology for a crystal built of linear tetrahedral chains aligned parallel to c? What are the typical habits of pyroxene and amphibole? Based on PBC theory, what is the expected shape of quartz crystals? How can PBC theory be used to explain the platy habit of mica? Fast-Growth Experiments Materials: Binocular microscope (For each Petri dish (5 cm diameter) person) 2 glass microscope slides (3" x 1") 2 cover slips (24 x 40 mm) 2 medium (No. 50 or No. 20) binder clips Pipette 2 2" x 2" sheets polarizing film (size is not critical) Styrofoam cup Chemicals: Tetrahydrofuran (THF) Liquid Nitrogen Copper Chloride (CuCl2 . 2H2O)) (optional) Methanol (optional) General Procedure A stock solution for these experiments is prepared by mixing pure THF with water in a ratio of 1.5 : 1 by volume. Once this THF solution is mixed, 2 or 3 drops should be placed in the center of a microscope slide. A glass cover slip is then placed at each end of the slide. The cover slips should not touch or interfere with the THF solution; they serve merely as spacers. The second glass slide is placed over this assemblage and is clamped into place with a binder clip at each end of the sandwich. Ideally, the THF solution forms a thin film in the center of the assemblage. A petri dish is placed under the binocular scope, and liquid nitrogen is poured from a styrofoam cup into the petri dish. The THF assemblage then is placed above the boiling nitrogen on the petri dish. The student should focus the binocular scope on the solution and observe the crystallization of the THF. (Optional for those with no hope of obtaining liquid nitrogen) A cupric chloride solution can be made by scooping a few grams of CuCl2 into 100 ml of methanol (exact amounts are not important). A few drops of this solution may be placed on a glass slide, and rapid crystal growth may be observed by binocular or petrographic microscopes as the alcohol solution evaporates. Questions -- Fast Growth Experiments 1) Once crystallization begins, do the crystals grow rapidly or slowly? Do the crystals advance haltingly, or at a constant velocity, or does velocity increase as the crystals grow larger? 2) At equilibrium conditions, this THF solution crystallizes at 2C. The temperature of boiling liquid nitrogen is 77 K. Do you think that crystals start to form exactly when your solution reaches 2C or when the temperature is considerably lower? Why might a solution require a large degree of undercooling to initiate crystal growth? Do you suppose that the reverse process of melting requires a similar degree of overheating before liquid appears? Why not? 3) Draw the textures produced by your crystallized solution of THF. These crystal shapes are called dendrites, based on their branching morphology (the Greek root means tree-like). In what natural settings have you observed dendritic crystals? 4) Dendritic crystallization can occur when a very steep temperature gradient exists across the crystal-solution interface. In other words, the temperature of the solution decreases rapidly away from the crystal face. A steep gradient is typical of strongly undercooled disequilibrium conditions. If a crystalline protrusion appears on an otherwise smooth crystal face, why might a steeply dipping temperature gradient promote the growth of that bump? 5) Will the tendency for a material to crystallize with dendritic morphologies increase or decrease with: a) Steeper temperature gradients between the solid and the liquid? b) Higher latent heats of crystallization (the heat energy produced by the process of solidification)? c) Higher thermal diffusivities for the solid and the liquid (i.e., the ability of the solid and liquid to transport latent heat away)? d) Higher heat capacities for the solid and liquid? e) Increasing impurity concentration at the solid-liquid interface? 6) Place the frozen THF assemblage between cross-polarized films. Does any light pass through the crystals? What does this tell you about the symmetry of the crystals? These structures are called clathrates, which are structurally similar to zeolite. At the bottom of the ocean, clathrate structures that consist of an H2O framework encaging methane molecules are quite common. 7) Allow the THF crystals to melt. Disassemble the slides. Wipe off the THF solution, and place 2 to 3 drops of pure water on the slide. Reassemble as before and place over liquid nitrogen. How does the crystallization of ice-I differ from that of the THF clathrate? 8) Place the frozen water between crossed polarizing film. Does light shine through? What does this result tell you about the symmetry of ice-I? Is the structure of ice-I the same as the structure of THF clathrate? (Optional for those working with cupric chloride) 9) What is the shape of the crystals that form upon evaporation of the solvent? Are individual crystals isolated, or do they occur as clusters? What is the geometric shape of the clusters? 10) Acicular (needle-like) crystal growth is strongly analogous to dendritic growth. Filamentous THF crystals grow from solutions undercooled using liquid nitrogen, and the THF solutions are characterized by strong temperature gradients due to the proximity of liquid nitrogen. Acicular CuCl2 crystals grow from evaporating solutions at constant temperature, but disequilibrium of another sort promotes fibrous crystal growth. What kind of gradient develops around an emerging crystal in an evaporating solution? Does the gradient become steeper or more shallow with increased evaporation of the solvent? Why might the growth of a protuberance on a smooth crystal face be accelerated under these conditions? Using these ideas, can you provide a general explanation for acicular growth from an evaporating solution? References Arend, H. and Hulliger, J., Eds. (1989) Crystal Growth in Science and Technology.

NOTES TO THE INSTRUCTOR Overview This lab is divided into two exercises that may be completed within a single three-hour session. The first exercise requires the mixture of aqueous solutions that will precipitate large euhedral crystals over the course of 1 to 2 weeks. These experiments are intended to mimic the slow growth of macroscopic minerals in thermal and chemical equilibrium. In the second exercise, students observe rapid growth of dendritic crystals in strongly undercooled solutions in order to visualize the disequilibrium growth processes that occur in the atmosphere, at chilled margins, and in highly supersaturated solutions. Tips for Success Slow Growth Experiments Here are some suggestions and observations based on past experience: a) Fresh chemicals produce better results than chemicals that have been sitting on a shelf for 15 years. a) Halite dissolves slowly, and heating does little to speed things up. The end product contains smallish (2 mm) euhedral crystals. b) Potassium ferricyanide is an excellent dissolver and produces beautiful red crystals. c) Sodium nitrate dissolves quickly, but our crystals were disappointing. I believe that having a seed crystal is extremely important to make this work, so the second time produces better results. d) Cupric acetate dissolves very slowly, but it produces excellent deep blue crystals. e) Rochelle salt is a moderately slow dissolver, and the crystals are large and emerge quickly. f) Sugar is a fast dissolver but makes a syrupy solution. Crystals should nucleate especially well on strings that hang into the fluid. The final result, of course, is rock candy. Purchasing the entire suite of chemicals may be quite expensive (~ $400). It should be remembered that the mixtures may be scaled to smaller amounts of solute and solvent. Also, the crystals may be crushed and used over again, but save a few small crystals from each batch to be used as seeds for the next year. If only one or two chemicals can be ordered, I recommend potassium ferricyanide ($75/1000g) and cupric acetate ($75/500g). Halite and sugar may be bought in a store, but be careful to buy kosher salt or sea salt. Other salts are specifically treated to prevent recrystallization (as in "When it rains, it pours"). Several participants in the workshop suggested that alum [KAl(SO4)2 . 12H2O] produces very nice crystals with good results every time. Initial solution concentrations should be 40 g alum per 200 cc water. Alum also may be obtained in grocery stores in the spice section. After a week or two, the mother fluids may be decanted into separate beakers. The remaining water may be boiled off in order to maximize recovery of the compounds. If you intend to dispose of the fluids directly, check with your environmental safety officer to see which fluids may be poured down a sink and which must be treated as hazardous waste according to local environmental regulations. Fast Growth Experiments 1) The thickness of the THF film is extremely important. Too thick and the crystals are hard to see; too thin and the solution will not crystallize. 2) The most difficult part of running this lab is keeping the petri dishes filled with nitrogen. During the workshop, as one team member peered through the microsope, the other shuttled back and forth between the LN2 dewar and the station with a styrofoam refill cup. This arrangement seemed to work. 3) Evaporation experiments will work with any solid that dissolves in an appropriate solvent, such as methanol. Cupric chloride produces very nice radially fibrous sprays. However, when the solution ages, the effect is strongly diminished (I think because of phase separation of water). So make the solutions the day you plan to perform the experiments. 4) Rather than using cupric chloride, it also is possible to place a few drops of the slow-growth solutions on slides and ask students to compare the crystals that grow rapidly by evaporation with those that grow slowly. These experiments may lead to useful comparisons involving rocks that have the same bulk compositions but different crystal textures. Answers to Questions -- Slow Growth Experiments 1) The best developed faces are those that grow most slowly. The corners are the fastest growing faces, and edges develop at intermediate rates. This principle is demonstrated by the diagram below, which represents a crystal sliced parallel to (001). Because the (110) faces grow more rapidly than the (010) faces, the (110) faces will decrease in area over time. Eventually, they will diminish to a point in the 2-dimensional slice (or an edge in 3 dimensions).   2) Hopper crystals are cubes that exhibit a skeletal morphology. The edges and corners are completely developed, but the faces are hollow. Consequently, each face resembles an agricultural grain hopper. Skeletal crystals represent arrested growth, and thus they provide a snapshot of the growth process. Faces with rapid growth develop at the expense of the slow growth directions. Hopper crystals are commonly observed in evaporitic environments, such as playa lakes, where growth occurs swiftly and crystals are starved of solute as the mother fluids disappear. Halite frequently exhibits hopper morphologies. 3) Yes. For a cubic unit cell, . Thus, d100 will always be the largest interplanar spacing in a cubic cell, and the {100} faces are expected to grow most slowly. That d100 is the largest interplanar spacing in a cubic cell is easily demonstrated by simple geometry as well. 4) The most prominent face should correspond to the plane with the largest d-spacing: Mineral Planes d-spacing a) Galena {001} 5.94 b) Almandine {001} 11.53 c) Muscovite {001} 19.99 d) Zircon {010} 6.60 e) Quartz {001} 5.41 5) The volume of a parallelopiped is the product of the area of one face and the height normal to that face. In a unit cell, the area is represented by Ahkl and the height by dhkl. Thus, the volume V = Ahkl . dhkl. Since the volume of a primitive unit cell is constant for a given lattice, dhkl varies inversely with Ahkl. Crystal faces that are associated with large interplanar spacings are less likely to develop because the attachment areas for the adsorbates are correspondingly small for those lattice planes, thereby lowering the probability of permanent adsorption. Because these faces are the slowest to develop, they become the most prominent once crystallization is complete. 6) Compound Crystal Class Forms Halite 4/m2/m Cube, Octahedron Potassium Ferricyanide 2/m Pinacoid, Prism Sodium Nitrate 2/m Rhombohedron, Scalenohedron Cupric Acetate 2/m Pinacoid, Prism Rochelle Salt 222 Rhombic disphenoid Sucrose 2 Sphenoid 7) Inosilicates contain single or double chains of tetrahedra parallel to the c-axis. As expected from PBC theory, pyroxene crystals often exhibit prismatic habits parallel to c. Similarly, amphiboles occur with fibrous or acicular morphologies with c as the direction of elongation. The quartz structure consists of helical chains of silica tetrahedra that spiral about the c-axis, and fully developed prismatic crystals are elongate along c. Secondary straight silicate chains in the quartz structure run parallel to [110], which is the direction of elongation for length-fast chalcedony fibers. Polymerization of silicate chains in micas occurs in 2 dimensions within the a-b plane. Consequently, PBC theory predicts that micas will exhibit platey morphologies with pronounced (001) faces, as is observed. Answers to Questions -- Fast Growth Experiments 1) Once dendritic crystallization begins, it typically proceeds so swiftly that students may have difficulty monitoring the crystallization front. Careful observation reveals that crystal growth does not accelerate as the crystals grow but continues at a constant velocity. 2) Even dendritic crystals require a small amount of undercooling, because energy is required to nucleate the initial crystallites that serve as seeds for further growth. In the absence of impurities or surface defects on the fluid container, the formation of nuclei may be inhibited. Thus, fluids can require significant undercooling for crystallization when they are very pure and when nucleation energies are extremely high. As nucleation energy is not a factor in the formation of melt (since the entropic contribution to the transition energy is positive), overheating is not characteristic of the solid-to-liquid transition. 3) Dendritic textures are characteristic of many minerals, including snow flakes, rime frost, gold, copper, and pyrolusite, which forms arboreal patterns in moss agate and on limestone surfaces. Dendritic textures are not apparent after infilling of the voids between branches, and this style of crystallization is much more common than might be surmised on the basis of final crystal habits. 4) If a crystal surface initially is flat but is bounded by a fluid with a sharp temperature gradient, then the random emergence of even a small protrusion will expose that protrusion to much lower temperatures than its neighboring surface. The relatively more undercooled environment at the tip of the protrusion will favor further crystallization, causing the tip to extend into even cooler fluids. This positive feedback creates a run-away crystallization process that occurs at very rapid rates once initiated.  5) The tendency for dendrites to form increases with a more undercooled fluid and a steeper temperature gradient at the solid-liquid interface. Hence, all processes that act to decrease the temperature gradient will also decrease the likelihood of dendritic crystallization. Models of dendritic crystallization (Langer, 1989) employ a non-dimensional parameter D to describe the degree of undercooling:  where TM is the melting temperature, T is the temperature of the fluid at an infinite distance from the crystal surface, L is the latent heat, and c is the specific heat of the fluid. Higher latent heats will raise the temperature of the fluid at the interface and thus decrease the amount of undercooling. However, latent heat must be normalized by c, the degree to which the temperature of the fluid will increase in response to the heat absorbed. The higher the heat capacity, the smaller the change in temperature for a given latent heat, and the more likely that a steep temperature gradient will be maintained. Similarly, steep temperature gradients are difficult to maintain when thermal diffusivities are high. The presence of impurities often serves to lower thermal diffusivities by acting as an energy sink or barrier, and thus impurities can help maintain a disequilibrium thermal profile near the surface. In summary, the tendency for dendritic crystallization: a) Increases with steeper temperature gradients; b) Decreases with higher latent heats; c) Decreases with higher thermal diffusivities; d) Increases with higher heat capacities; e) Increases with higher impurity contents. 6) The THF clathrate hydrates are cubic and isotropic, and no light passes through cross polars. 7) Although H2O obviously can form beautiful dendrites in snowflakes and rime frost, in my experience the crystallization of ice in this experiment produces a cumulate texture. 8) As ice-I is isostructural with tridymite, its symmetry is hexagonal and its optical character anisotropic. Birefringent colors should be apparent in cross-polarized light.  !1t6>&'-/35689; hk N>*CJEHOJQJhk NCJEHOJQJhk NCJEHOJQJhk N>*OJQJhk N5OJQJhk NB*OJQJphhk N5CJOJQJhk NOJQJhk N5;CJOJQJ> !1K`t +,d.bd^d$da$f~56?@pq'JYjt Td $ Tda$ d^`d !"<]  d d^ Td hd hxd $4O^t}pq! d^` hdd 8d^ 8d^;<=>?@ABEFbdeghj !""h$j$&& &#&D&G&c&f&&&&&'''hk N>*OJQJhk NOJQJhk N6CJEHOJQJhk N6OJQJhk N5OJQJhk NCJEHOJQJhk NCJEHOJQJhk NCJEHOJQJhk NOJQJ@!!!!!!!!""#r#t#i$j$%%&&& hhd^h` hd^h` d hd hd^ d^`&' '''''(&(;(Q(^(_(%)&)** , , ,$, $ hda$ hd^h` d hhd^h` hd'''''' ( (((("(#($(%(6(7(8(:(J(K(L(M(N(O(Z([(\(](J+K+ , , ,$,%,/,.-8-v-w-x-y-|-}---1122==BB-D0D:DSJjJkJhk N;CJOJQJhk N5;CJOJQJhk NCJEHOJQJh!OJQJhk N5OJQJjhk NOJQJUhk NCJEHOJQJhk N6OJQJhk NOJQJhk N>*OJQJ<$,%,E,j,,,,,---.-O-`------.//31412222d d hd2337788::::<;;+<_<<< >!>-?.?@@ hhd^h vd^v` d^` d^`@8@9@@@,D-D.D/D0D;D*OJQJjAhk NEHOJQJUjhk NOJQJUjhk NOJQJUhk N6OJQJhk NCJEHOJQJhk NCJEHOJQJhk NOJQJhk N5OJQJhk N5CJOJQJ4ANNbOOPPPKSLS^T_TUUVVVVWW1Y2YZZZ hd hd^`d h0d^`0ZZ\\\\\\___2_;_<_/`0```` dd hd^` h!.&#$/^` h d^` hd`````a.a/aubvbcccd d*dVdydddddd d hd hd^` d^` dsbcccddddddddDdEdfdgdidjdddhHhmonoooqqrTrVrrrSxTxy-<fgijlmoprsy hk N0Jjhk N0JUhk Njhk NUUhk NCJEHOJQJhk NCJEHOJQJjghk NUhk NOJQJjKhk NUhk N5OJQJjIhk NUjvGhk NUhk N6OJQJhk N>*OJQJhk NOJQJ2dhhhIhJh`iaikkemfmmonooo0r2rBrDrvvv d^` hd hd^`d d^`vv,wUwwwwwwExFxxxyy,-=> $ hda$ hd^` hd hhd^h`d d^`9) Cupric chloride crystals typically grow as acicular crystals within spherulitic clusters. In contrast to the dendrites observed with THF clathrate hydrates, these cupric chloride crystals rarely exhibit secondary and higher level branching. 10) Whereas undercooling can lead to steep thermal gradients near the crystal-liquid interface, evaporation can lead to solutions that are extremely supersaturated, and steep compositional gradients develop near the interface. Adsorption on the crystal surface leads to a local depletion of solute, but concentrations rise sharply with greater distance from the surface. A small protuberance will come in contact with solute-rich regions and continue its growth, setting up a positive feedback dynamic that is analogous to dendritic growth in undercooled conditions.
