The common association of these crystals with plant roots or microorganisms suggests that the organisms can produce conditions suitable for growth of the crystals. Such crystals form through biogenically and abiogenically mediated processes. Although experimental data suggest that both types of crystal can form from the same parent fluid, there are only rare examples where both are present together in nature. Fiber and dendrite calcite crystals generally form from fluids that are supersaturated with respect to calcium carbonate. In extreme cases fiber crystals can be cemented together to form lattices that look like dendrite crystals. Constructive modification, which usually involves epitaxial growth around the original fiber or dendrite crystal, may proceed to the point where the original crystals are completely disguised. Destructive modification includes physical breakdown, dissolution, or micritization. The shape of fiber and dendrite crystals can be substantially modified by destructive or constructive diagenetic processes. Such crystals may be tightly or loosely packed. Arrangement of dendrite crystals grown along the bottom of Si ingots using the dendritic casting method by controlling thermal conductivity under crucibles. The hard, brittle intermetallic particles accumulated at the grain boundaries are broken up and. Random and tangential fiber crystals refer to masses of fibers that have a random distribution or tangentially coat a substrate, respectively. Hot deformation leads to an increase in the strength of aluminum casting alloys, which may be attributed to the following reasons: The coarse dendritic crystal structure is broken down to form a refined structure with small, equiaxed grains via recrystallization (Kaibyshev et al., 2003).

My question is, when working with a battery with obvious voltage depression, is it practical to run it down at say 100mAh to. I understand, the slower the rate of discharge, the better it works. Dendrite crystals are formed of a main stem, primary branches, and secondary branches. When discharging a nickel battery, this breaks up dendrites EDIT: actually crystalline formations. Fiber crystals, which have a length: width ratio of greater than 6:1, are divided into hexagonal fibers, rectangular fibers, composite fibers, and rhomb chains according to their crystal form.

Fiber and dendrite calcite crystals, formed by abnormal growth conditions, are minor but important components of many limestones that have undergone vadose meteoric diagenesis.
