dc.description.abstractCrystallisation is a hugely important process in physical sciences and is crucial to many areas of, for example, chemistry, physics, biochemistry, metallurgy and geology. The process is typically associated with solidification, for example in the purification of solids from a heated saturated solution familiar to all chemistry undergraduates. Crystalline solids are also often the end result of cooling liquids, or in some cases gases, but in order to form require nucleation, in the absence of nucleation supercoiling of liquids well below the melting point is possible (Cava-gna, 2009). The quality of crystals, as gauged by size and levels of order is highly variable, and may depend on factors such as material purity and the rate of cool-ing; rapid cooling may result in poor crystallisation, or even the formation of amorphous materials with no long range order. In geological systems rates of cooling may vary over many orders of magnitude, for example obsidian is a large-ly amorphous material produced when lava is rapidly cooled (Tuffen, 2003), while the gypsum crystals found in the Cueva de los Cristales in Chihuahua, Mexico can reach 10 metres in length (Figure 1) and are formed over hundreds of thousands of years. In this latter case the formation of such large spectacular structures as shown in Figure 1 can only be explained by a low nucleation rate (García-Ruiz, 2007; Van Driessche, 2011).eng
