On the Mechanism of Crystal Growth from Undercooled Melts
The mechanism of crystal growth from undercooled melts is studied experimentally by means of a simple capillary technique. Thymol and Na&&O,. 5 H,O are used as model substanc,es. Dislocation-free crystal faces of these compounds are obtained by continuous growth in the capillary or by prolonged anriealing under appropriate conditions. Two-dimensional mechanism of gr0wt.h was experimentally verified on such perfect, crystal planes. The conditions under which the surface nuclation mechanism operates are described accounting for the supersaturation, the influence of impurities etc. Transition from two-dimensional into spiral growth of purposedly defected crystal faces is demonstrated and invedgated. Tho mechanism of formation of perfect crystals is discussed and furt,her experimental evidence 011 the possibilit,y Vermittels eines einfachen Kapillarverfahrens wird der Mechanismus dor Kristallisation unterkuhlter Schmelzen untersucht, wobei Thymol iind NqS,O, -5 H,O als Modellsubstanzen fungieren. Versetzungsfreic Kristallfliichen dieser zwei Substanzen werden in eincr Kapillare durch kontinuierliches Wachstum odor durch liiiigeros Tempern der cntsprechenden Einkristalle bei goeigneten Bedingungen erhalt,en. An solchen fehlerlosen Kristallfliichen wird Wachstum iiber zweidimensioriale Keimbildnng experimentell verifiziert, wobei die Bedingungen in Bezug auf Untcrkiihlung, Anwesenheit von Verunreinigungen usw. festgelegt werden, bei welchen dieser Mechariismus vorliegt,. Es wird auI3erdem der i)bcrgang voni zweidimensiona.len Wachstum zum Wachstum uber Schraubenverset,zungen an vorsltzlich gcstorten Kristallfliichen demoristriert und eingehciid untersucht. Der Bildririgsmechanismiis fehlerfreier Monokristalle in der Kapillare wird diskutiert, und cs werden weiterc experimentelle Bcfunde zum Wachstum tiber zweidimensionalc Keimbildung angefiihrt.
