Spiral Growth on Carborundum Crystal Faces
TL;DR: The theory of crystal growth based on dislocation theory as formulated by F. C. Frank predicts the presence of growth features in the form of very flat, spirally terraced hills on the crystal face which is perpendicular to a screw dislocation line as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Screw Dislocations in Mica
TL;DR: In this article, the existence of screw dislocations in mica (muscovite) has been shown experimentally for the first time in the presence of spiral growth.
Journal ArticleDOI
Growth Mechanism of Carborundum Crystals
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the steps between successive successive turns are exactly one unit cell high, and that this is true in many cases, although of several unit cells high are not exceptions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spiral Growth Patterns on Apatite Crystals
TL;DR: In this article, the same mechanism was found to be responsible for the growth of the growth spirals suggested by Frank's theory for mica crystals of beryl, n-paraffin, silicon carbide and gold.
Journal ArticleDOI
Growth Spirals and their Relation to Crystal Habit as Illustrated by Apatite
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors observed growth spiral patterns on tabular colourless apatite crystals from Sulzbachtal (Austria), which have probably grown from solution, and the dominating system consists of two co-operating spirals, which dominate several other dislocations of equal and of different strengths.
