Abstract
Measurements have been made of the growth rate of the (100) faces of ADP crystals grown under a constant supersaturation of 1% from static solution containing mixtures of MnCl24H2O and KMnO4 at pH=2.5. Under these conditions, manganese is incorporated into the crystal and the growth rate shows a strong oscillatory character in the early stages of growth. These oscillations dampen as growth progresses. X-ray transmission topography of larger single crystals that are grown under similar conditions and which also incorporate manganese ions reveals the development of strain bands in the (100) growth sector. A possible mechanism of lattice strain generation by incorporation of manganese ions, and its influence on growth rate variation in the (100) growth sector is discussed.
