Could you use polarized light filters to see the crystal structure better?

@DingDongDrift 2 жыл бұрын

this was probably filmed indoors which means very little polarized light exists anyways. using a polarized filter wouldn't do much.

Rocks grow like that. When the crust materials are cooling down over millions of years, they separate into huge crystals. Some are granite, and there's many others. Real interesting is our earth's solid core. Seismic data shows it to be covered by huge forests of metal crystals. Depending on heat from radioactivity. Do a video on that please:)

I'm sure this project was frustrating enough, but it got me wondering if it might be possible to make semiconductors by doping monocrystalline ice. If you're not completely burned out and flooded with video ideas, I'd love to see what you might come up with.

Hi action lab today (7/30/21) released a video that might be a route to single crystal ice if you decide to come back to it. If you could super cool water with no nucleation points.. perhaps in a vacuum and then introduce a single crystal, you may get a single crystal ice explosion.. sounds cool anyway.

If you had two seed crystals and had them growing where they would get stuck together, and then tried to break it in two, would it tend to break along the boundary where the two met? where by "tend to" I mean to the degree where it would be, "noticeably more frequently, without doing any statistics to measure small differences in chance or anything like that"

@AlphaPhoenixChannel 3 жыл бұрын

It would make it weaker, but I’m not sure if it would be “noticeable”

Is this how monocrystaline turbine blades are made? Can you grow one in a mold to get a certain shape ice crystal?

@AlphaPhoenixChannel 3 жыл бұрын

I think (maybe) that turbine blades are actually grown through those weird curly-q shaped crucibles I mentioned at the end of the polycrystalline ice video

@ryanhyatt1576 2 жыл бұрын

Kind of off topic but….What effect if any would recrystallizing organic compounds(epsom salt) in the presence of a strong magnetic field have on the crystals structure? For example placing an N52 Neodymium disc magnet under a beaker of Supersaturated solution.
