Crystal growth features on stearic acid, potassium nitrate, and potash alum have been determined by means of scanning force microscopy (SFM). Structures like growth spirals, etch pits, 2D‐nuclei, and growth hillocks could be observed. The analysis of the face specific surface topographies leads to structures which correspond to those expected from kinetic measurements.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
