In-situ observation of the growing surface morphology of KDP crystals by microscope

摘要

A kind of in-situ crystal growth observation system for solution temperature reduction method was designed. The growth surface morphology of KDP crystal was observed by this system. Dislocation hillocks with elliptical shape were clearly distinguished on the {100} face. The dynamics process of morphology evolvement on growth surface of KDP crystals was recorded and analyzed. The growth velocity of the step trains generated from dislocation hillocks was about ～10-4.
