Abstract
It has been established by electron and optical microscopy and EPR (using a paramagnetic probe) that the occluded mother liquor creates three-dimensional inclusions in the crystal bulk. The removal of water from these inclusions in stepwise isothermic heating has been studied on spring balances. It was established that the removal takes place according to a dislocation mechanism. A method has been suggested allowing one to estimate the inclusion size distribution (ISD) function from the data on decreasing the mass of crystals upon stepwise heating. The applicability of the method was checked by comparing ISD in crystals A found by two techniques: transmission electron microscopy and the one suggested in this paper.
