Abstract
Difficulties in determining the crystal growth mechanism from growth rate versus solution supersaturation dependence are discussed. Obtained results indicate that in the supersaturation range of 0.66–1.56%, sodium chlorate crystals grow in accordance with the spiral growth model. It is shown that in the supersaturation range of 0.44–1.32%, the growth mechanism depends on crystal growth history. Namely, the exponent n in the power law R = Kσn depends on the manner of supersaturation changes (varied from 1.3 to 1.9%). This indicates that the overlapping of diffusion fields of neighboring steps depends on growth history.
