One experiment found that repeated warming followed by slow cooling of the sample causes the effect to disappear.
This may result from slow cooling whereby recrystallization leads to a minimization of surface energy.
In addition, a disordered 1x1 structure is regained at temperatures above 850 C, which can be converted back to the 7x7 reconstruction by slow cooling.
The basalt columns were created by the slow cooling of volcanic lava.
In case of fewer nucleation sites and slow cooling, a few larger spherulites are created.
The great thing is to kill them before the natural slow cooling reduces them to dust particles.
This texture forms by slow cooling of magma deep underground in the plutonic environment.
The quenching is required since the material otherwise would start the precipitation already during the slow cooling.
InSb crystals have been grown by slow cooling from liquid melt at least since 1954.
The thermal mass of the block allowed sufficiently slow cooling over night to produce crystals a few milimetres long.
