Chemical bond analysis of the crystal growth of KDP and ADP

The bond valence model is employed to calculate the bond strength of constituent chemical bonds formed between growth units in both potassium dihydrogen phosphate (KDP) and ammonium dihydrogen phosphate (ADP) crystals, with the aim to predict and control the crystal shape. After calculating and comparing the relative growth rates of all selected planes, which are related to the crystallographic structure and chemical bond strength, the natural morphology of both KDP and ADP can be conveniently deduced. To check the calculated results, the crystallites of KDP and ADP are grown under different growth conditions; their morphologies accord well with our theoretical calculations. Meanwhile, the influence of ethanol anti-solvent on crystal morphology is microscopically interpreted, which alters the crystal morphology by changing the supersaturation of the growing solution and influencing the bonding process. When ethanol is added into the growing solution, the crystal shape becomes slender.     

The effect of pH on the growth of the {100} faces of ammonium dihydrogen phosphate crystals

The velocity and shape of growth layers on the {100} faces of ammonium dihydrogen phosphate (ADP) crystals growing in aqueous solution at pH = 5.0 are compared with those previously reported for growth at pH = 3.8. The results are interpreted in terms of the adsorption of hydrated hydroxonium ions on the crystal surface.

The combined effects of supersaturation and Ba2+ on the batch cooling crystallization of potassium dihydrogen phosphate

The combined effects of supersaturation and Ba²⁺ on potassium dihydrogen phosphate (KDP) were investigated in batch cooling suspension crystallization. Growth size, morphology, and impurity Ba²⁺ adsorbed in the KDP crystals were measured with changing Ba²⁺ concentration and supersaturation. Significant changes in shapes and volume of the grown crystals have been observed. The results further confirmed that the size and shape of crystals were greatly determined by supersaturation. Ba²⁺ ions significantly modified the growth habit of KDP crystals. The concentration of Ba²⁺ ions adsorbed in the crystals increases with the increasing Ba²⁺ ions in the solutions and supersaturation. The foggy phenomena caused by the addition of Ba to the KDP solution were also described. (© 2008 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)

The dielectric properties in various growth sectors of KDP crystals are determined.

Growth and thermal studies on pure ADP,KDP and mixed K1‐x(NH4)xH2PO4 crystals

The investigations on the formation of mixed crystals of ammonium dihydrogen orthophosphate (ADP) and potassium dihydrogen orthophosphate (KDP) i.e. potassium ammonium dihydrogen phosphate, K_1‐x(NH₄)_xH₂PO₄ have been presented in this paper. Pure and mixed crystals of ADP and KDP have been grown by slow evaporation technique from the supersaturated solution at an ambient temperature 26±1 °C for ammonium concentration x in the range 0.0 ≤ x ≤ 1.0 in the case of mixed crystals. Crystal compositions were determined by flame atomic absorption spectroscopy and chemical analysis. The results of the X‐ray analysis of the grown crystals are also reported. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential thermal analysis (DTA) were used to study the kinetic process of dehydration and the high temperature phase behaviour. DTA showed the distinct thermal events attributed to dehydration of ADP, KDP and K_1‐x(NH₄)_xH₂PO₄. The results of thermal analysis and chemical analysis are consistent with each other.

Growth and characterization of K1‐x(NH4)xH2PO4 mixed crystals onto z‐cut point seeds

Mixed crystals of potassium dihydrogen phosphate and ammonium dihydrogen phosphate were grown onto point seeds by the method of temperature reduction. It was found that the regeneration process of z‐cut point seeds became more and more difficult with increasing KH₂PO₄ concentration in the solution mixture. The interior stress and cracking of the mixed crystals were analyzed by synchrotron X‐ray topography. Large numbers of stress stripes were found at the seed and sectors boundaries. The lattice parameters of the pyramid and prismatic sectors of the prepared mixed crystal were calculated according to the X‐ray diffraction patterns. With solution containing 8 mol % KH₂PO₄, the lattice volumes of the prismatic sector of the mixed crystal were 1.3% larger than that of the pyramid sector of the crystal. Chemical etching revealed microcracks with length of hundreds of microns in the mixed crystals, which tended to spread and led to crystal cracking. (© 2009 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Resonant diffraction of synchrotron radiation: New possibilities

Resonant diffraction of synchrotron radiation (SR) is a modern method of studying the structure and properties of condensed matter that can be implemented on third-generation synchrotrons. This method allows one to investigate local properties of media (including magnetic and electronic ones) and observe thermal vibrations, defects, and orbital and charge orderings. A brief review of the advance provided by SR resonant diffraction is presented, and the capabilities of this method for analyzing phase transitions are considered in more detail by the example of potassium dihydrogen phosphate and rubidium dihydrogen phosphate crystals. It is shown that the investigation of the temperature dependence of forbidden reflections not only makes it possible to observe the transition from para- to ferroelectric phase, but also gives information about the proton distribution at hydrogen bonds.
