Lead iodide crystals have been grown in silica gel by the new gel technique by the inter action between colloidal lead tartrate and KI solution. The crystals are found to exhibit interesting surface designs. Growth kinetics and habit modifications of the crystal have been investigated. Two dimensional surface nucleation and screw dislocation are found to partake in the growth process of the crystals.
