Abstract :
DAST crystal growth is influenced by changes in the concentration of the solution. This work shows that controlling the concentration by means of conductivity measurement is very useful. Relatively large DAST crystals can be grown from seed crystals in saturated methanol solution by controlled temperature lowering.
