Crystallization in confinement

FC Meldrum, C O'Shaughnessy - Advanced Materials, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
Many crystallization processes of great importance, including frost heave, biomineralization,
the synthesis of nanomaterials, and scale formation, occur in small volumes rather than bulk …

A review of the formation of tectonic veins and their microstructures

PD Bons, MA Elburg, E Gomez-Rivas - Journal of structural geology, 2012 - Elsevier
