Effects of gravity on equilibrium crystal shapes
… of gravity on the two-dimensional equilibrium shapes (ES) of crystals and menisci are investigated for different geometries (positions) of the substrate. In the gravity-free case, the equilibrium crystal shape (ECS) is characterized by a scale invariance. The presence of gravity breaks the …

Some problems in the theory of equilibrium crystal shapes
… has been made in the theory of equilibrium crystal shapes, and a general thermodynamic framework of the problem has been developed. Chapter 1 serves as a brief survey of the theory, in order to provide basic background material of this thesis.

The Microphysical and Radiative Properties of Tropical Cirrus From the 2006 Tropical Warm Pool International Cloud Experiment (twp-Ice)
The impacts of variations in small ice crystal shapes and concentrations on bulk scattering properties of tropical cirrus are quantified. The calculated mean asymmetry parameter g¯ for the fresh anvil (i.e., 2 Feb) is larger than that for cirrus bands of varying ages (i.e., 27 and 29 Jan.) for …

Magnesium nanoplasmonics: synthesis, characterisation, and applications
… LSPRs. Next, Mg’s hexagonal close packed crystal structure, unique among plasmonic metals, leads to various Mg crystal shapes, including twinned structures, cubes, and spheroids, which are probed for their near-field optical properties both experimentally and numerically. Using similar …

The equilibrium shape of NaCl single crystal studied by x-ray reflection on its surfaces
The equilibrium shape of NaCl single crystals has been studied by x-ray reflectivity measurements at high symmetric surfaces. The equilibrium shape of a crystal is related to the properties of its surfaces through its surface free energy by means of the Wulff construction. Glancing angle x-ray …
