Fluctuations in Crystal Shape

  • 180 Accesses

Abstract

Considerable fluctuations in growth rate occur during overgrowth on morphologically stable crystal faces [1]; these fluctuations can influence many parameters of a crystal, in particular the habit. Habit fluctuations have not previously been examined in detail, although such an analysis is essential in determining face growth rates during mass crystallization, which has become a technique widely used [2].
