Impurity adsorption and habit changes in aqueous solution grown KCl crystals
TLDR
In this paper, it was established through in-situ and ex situ observations of surface microtopographs of growing and etched {100} and {111} faces of KCl crystals that the well-known habit change from cubic to octahedral due to the presence of Pb ions in aqueous solution takes place through preferential precipitation of pbCl 2 crystallites along 〈110〉 steps of growth layers on {100, the appearance of {111] occurs by the pile up of the steps, subsequent spiral growth occurs on { 111} faces.About:

Journal ArticleDOI
Formamide adsorption and habit changes of alkali halide crystals grown from solutions
TL;DR: In this article, the possibility to obtain octahedral surfaces on NaCl crystals grown from pure water solutions was investigated in order to verify some early observations, and it was shown that, independent of supersaturation, {1 0 -1 -0} is the only stable form.

{100} and {111} forms of the NaCl crystals coexisting in growth from pure aqueous solution
TL;DR: In this article, the octahedron stability in pure aqueous solution is discussed on the basis of the octopole hypothesis about the stability of the reconstructed NaCl surface.

TL;DR: It is determined that the rocksalt {111} surface is Na(+) terminated for both environmental conditions, which means that the polar surface is stabilized through the formation of an electrochemical double layer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Structure of the {111} NaCl crystal surface grown from solution in the presence of CdCl2
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that at an atomic scale the NaCl surface is similar to its bulk face truncated along the {1 1/1/1} plane.

Chapter 2 Nucleation, Growth And Dissolution Of Crystals During Sedimentogenesis and Diagenesis
TL;DR: In this article, the authors summarized essential points to be considered in analyzing the mineral crystal-growth phenomena in sedimentogenetic, including diagenetic, environments, namely, nucleation, growth, dissolution kinetics, morphology, and texture formation.
