Spherulitic and rotational crystal growth of Quartz thin films
Nick R. Lutjes, Silang Zhou, Jordi Antoja-Lleonart +2
To obtain crystalline thin films of alpha-Quartz represents a challenge due to the tendency for the material towards spherulitic growth. Thus, understanding the mechanisms that giv…

Crystallization of GeO2 thin films into alpha-quartz: from spherulites to single crystals
Silang Zhou, Jordi Antoja-Lleonart, Pavan Nukala +3
Piezoelectric quartz SiO2 crystals are widely used in industry as oscillators. As a natural mineral, quartz and its relevant silicates are also of interest of geoscience and minera…
