K. Sangwal et al., DECORATION OF GROWTH AND DISSOLUTION STEPS ON THE SURFACES OF L-ARGININE PHOSPHATE MONOHYDRATE CRYSTALS, Journal of crystal growth, 140(3-4), 1994, pp. 447-450
Observations of decoration of growth and dissolution steps on the {100
} surfaces of non-linear optical L-arginine phosphate monohydrate (LAP
) crystals during their withdrawal through an n-hexane layer placed ab
ove its supersaturated and undersaturated solutions are described. Thi
s is the first report of decoration of growth or dissolution steps on
the surfaces of crystals at or near room temperature in a liquid mediu
m by the crystallizing or dissolving material.
