Abstract: | The growth behaviour of ammonium oxalate monohydrate crystals on seeds from aqueous solutions under terrestrial and enhanced gravity conditions has been investigated. It was found that all types of faces on the crystals revealed growth layers on them. The faces of the crystals obtained under both terrestrial and enhanced gravity conditions on seeds hung on nylon threads show cracks, trapped inclusions and macrospirals, while the faces of the crystals grown on seeds in fixed holders under enhanced gravity conditions are devoid of cracks, inclusions and macrospirals. |
