Summary on Grant Application Form |

This project concerns structural changes occurring in supersaturated solutions of polar organic molecules subjected to strong uniform electric field. It has been recently discovered elsewhere that polarised laser light can initiate controlled crystal nucleation and polymorphic modification. Theoretical and experimental evidence suggests that such phenomena should also be pronounced in the static electric filed. The proposal involves investigation into the field-induced crystallization processes using optical interferometry and X-ray scattering techniques and will enable to study the fundamental relationship between solution and crystal ordering which is important in many areas of crystal growth and industrial crystallization. In addition, application of electric field to protein and polymer systems will create new analytical possibilities for X-ray scattering and diffraction measurements, in particular, for the SRS Daresbury Laboratory users involved in non-crystalline diffraction.
