Preparing Massive Crystals from a Melt
The following link goes to a description of several methods for preparing large crystals
of fusible materials from molten material:
Verneuil (flame-fusion to a fluid cap, 1902),
Czochralski (pulling metal fibers from a molten pool, 1918),
and Teal and Little (using a seed to pull a crystal from a molten pool, 1950)
Thanks to American Elements
for recommending the link.
