The spiral growth of crystals

A. A. Chernov
- 31 Jan 1961 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the influence of impurities on the growth rate of a growing crystal has been investigated and some experiments have been carried out on a set of elementary steps and a parallel sequence of steps.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rapid growth of KDP-type crystals

TL;DR: In this article, a review of the development of the rapid growth technique for production of single crystals with the linear sizes up to 90 cm to obtain plates for laser radiation conversion in world-largest lasers is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

Crystal growth and dislocations

TL;DR: The theory of the growth of perfect crystals deriving from Gibbs and Volmer, showed that new crystal layers cannot be nucleated at an appreciable rate at low supersaturation.

The importance of surface diffusion for crystal growth from solution

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that surface diffusion plays an essential role in the growth process and that the observed shapes of spirals and habits of crystals described in terms of the morphological theory of Hartman and Perdok can be explained on the basis of the surface diffusion model of Burton, Cabrera and Frank.

Habit modification of succinic acid crystals grown from different solvents

TL;DR: In this paper, a periodic bond chain analysis of the succinic acid structure does not predict the observed habit, thus highlighting the important role played by the solvent in the growth process.
