Developments in nonclassical crystallizationCrystallization via nonclassical pathways is important during the formation of minerals in nature and has become a popular method to synthesize advanced materials at both lab and industrial scales. Unlike classical crystal growth pathways via monomer-by-monomer addition, crystallization via nonclassical pathways, such as particle-by-particle attachment, can form bigger crystals, faster. Understanding nonclassical crystallization can aid the recognition of geochemical processes in nature and provide new insight into the design and synthesis of novel materials. This book examines topics such as nonclassical nucleation, cluster assembly, particle-based crystallization, crystal formation from amorphous intermedium phases, biomineralization via nonclassical pathways, theoretical developments to simulate nonclassical crystallization, and observation and application of nonclassical crystallization. Experienced researchers can learn more about the development of new techniques, and readers in fields such as energy, catalysis, biomedicine, optics, electrics, and magnetics will find this work useful.

Xin Zhang received his doctoral degree in Chemical Engineering from Texas Tech University in 2014. Currently, he is a staff scientist in the Physical Science Division at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. His research focuses on materials synthesis, surface science, and crystal growth-particularly on exploring the nucleation, crystallization, dissolution, and phase transformation of nanocrystals in various environments using different in situ and ex situ techniques. He has authored over 100 publications in peer reviewed journals including Science, PNAS, and JACS. He has also authored 10 patents and several book chapters.
