The results are discussed of an experimental investigation into the gr
owth rate, refractivity and IR reflection spectra of the real nitrogen
and carbon dioxide cryocrystals as a function of the conditions of th
eir formation, i.e. the temperature of the condensation surface and th
e pressure of the gaseous phase. it is found that the growth rates and
refractivity of CO2 vary nonlinearly with the temperature that may be
explained by a gradual increase in the amount of defects in the cryst
al with decreasing condensation temperature. This conclusion is indire
ctly supported by the results of investigation of the temperature depe
ndence of the IR reflection spectra of CO2 cryocrystals. It ts suppose
d that the structural-morphological characteristics of real cryocrysta
ls are independent on the temperature of their formation. The temperat
ure variations of the layers of CO2 cryocrystals formed at different t
emperatures do not cause substantial changes of the layers.
