Abstract

AbstractSurface studies on (111) faces of sodium bromate crystals grown from aqueous solution show the presence of growth steps. A new etchant consisting of a mixture of 8 parts of glacial acetic acid and 2 parts of formic acid, to which 3 mg/cc of cupric nitrate is added, reveals the dislocation sites on (111) faces of these crystals. The etching action on (111) and (111) faces is different. Different microhardness values are recorded on (111) and (111) faces of these crystals. The difference in etching action as well as in microhardness values on (111) and (111) faces is discussed.
