Growth of the {101} face of KDP crystals in the presence of dye Chicago Sky Blue
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 March 2011
Abstract
In situ interference technique is used for a study of morphology and growth kinetics of a pyramidal face of KDP crystals with dye Chicago Sky Blue. It is shown that the impurity is captured by a crystal when its concentration in the solution exceeds a certain temperature depended value. In the presence of impurity the face loses its stability with increasing of supersaturation. Further increase of supersaturation leads to the restore and subsequent loss of stability. The experimental results are interpreted in the framework of earlier developed model for a crystal growth in the presence of the easily desorbed mobile impurity. The parameters characterizing the adsorption behavior of mobile impurity and its capture have been determined.
