The surface structure of crystals
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 March 2018
Extract
C . W. Bunn and H. Emmett have observed the spreading, of multi-molecular layers on growing crystals of artificial compounds, and have suggested that deposition takes place on the high-index surfaces at the edges of the layers. Their work led the author to examine crystals of several mineral species for evidence of the mechanism of growth, and this account is the result of a preliminary survey of the growth structures found.
So many growth structures could be seen with the naked eye or with a hand-lens that it was decided to use low magnifications in order that comparatively large areas of the crystal faces could be examined and photographed at one time. A metallurgical microscope with a prism reflector and 1-inch objective was used for the observations and most of the photography. This work is qualitative rather than quantitative, but it is intended to carry out a quantitative examination of the same specimens later.
