Abstract
Abstract A qualitative description is given of the surfaces of potassium bromide ingots, grown from the melt by the Kyropoulos method. Steps, visible under the microscope, which extend over parts of the ingot surfaces, are attributed to normal growth from the melt. The growth steps project forward in the neighbourhood of a grain boundary. Large, high-stepped growth formations are shown to be caused by the solidification of discrete drops of liquid remaining on the ingot surfaces after lifting from the melt.
