Measurement, modelling, and closed-loop control of crystal shape distribution: Literature review and future perspectives

- Modelling, measurement and model-based control of crystal shape distribution (CShD) were reviewed.
- Four approaches were reviewed for measuring and estimating crystal facet growth kinetics.
- A framework has been proposed to achieve model-based automatic closed-loop control of CShD.
- New nucleation models and instruments are needed for measuring nucleation processes at nanoscale.
