Abstract
It is pointed out, by means of a literature review, that etch pits formed at the sites of singular defects in an otherwise slowly dissolving surface are usually shallow, composed of faces misoriented from that surface by only a few degrees. An etch pit study of the (0001) zinc surface dissolved in alcoholic hydrochloric acid solutions supports the theory that the slopes of etch pits are controlled by the dissolution kinetics of the crystal. Pits widen at a rate independent of the type of defect attacked, but the slopes are dictated by the relative rates of dissolution at the defect sites.
