Abstract
The results of the study of the influence of a static magnetic field of 55 ± 3 mT on the face growth kinetics of sodium chlorate crystals in the supersaturation range of (0.89–1.78) % are presented. The supersaturation dependence of growth rate was analyzed using different theoretical models and the kinetic parameters of crystal growth in zero and in the applied magnetic field were estimated. It is shown that in both types of experiments the observed crystals grew by a complex dislocation source. Analysis of the growth rate distribution by using the Weibull distribution function was performed to obtain the maximum growth rate Rmax depending on their corresponding initial length lmax. The linear relationship between these quantities is derived from the model of growth by a group of cooperating screw dislocations. It was observed that both the initial size threshold l*max and the slope dRmax/dlmax exhibit higher values in the presence of a magnetic field.
