Abstract
In-situ study on growth forms of clathrate hydrate in aqueous solutions has been performed. It was observed that the growth forms was depend on the temperature and pressure. The Raman spectra of crystal have bcen measured in order to examine the relation bctween the orientation of the crystal growth and the rotation of the gas molecules. We discuss the influence of the anisotropic rotation of the gas molecules in the hydrogen bonded network on the anisotropy of the crystal growth.
