Abstract

AbstractThe geometry of growth dislocations present in potassium bichromate crystals grown from aqueous solution has been studied by etching. Etch topographs composed of dislocation etch grooves and grooves representing sector boundaries and growth bands have been analysed. It was found that most of the dislocation lines are straight and have well‐defined directions in each sector. Refractions of dislocations at growth sector boundaries and at other defects have been observed.
