Abstract

The present chapter is devoted to an outline of the basic models of crystal growth. The theoretical considerations concerning the description of crystal growth are based on three very general models, i.e., normal (or continuous) growth, growth determined by processes of formation of two-dimensional nuclei and their subsequent enlargement and growth mediated by screw dislocations. Particular attention is also devoted to the analysis of different modes of crystal growth in chain-folding polymers. Further developments are discussed as well as experimental data illustrating the different models of crystal growth.
