Single-crystal faces isolation

Previous morphological studies of 3D Ag crystallite formation in the OPD range on electrochemically grown silver single crystal faces (100) and (111) showed an epitaxial growth of isolated 3D Pb crystallites as shown in Fig. 4.17 [4.54-4.56, 4.69, 4.75-4.77]. 

In addition to flame annealing methods for the preparation of single crystal faces of metals with extended atomically smooth terraces [5.10-5.13], the already traditional technique of electrolytic growth of single crystals [5.6-S.9] has remained unrivaled for the preparation of perfect, screw dislocation-free faces or faces with single, isolated screw dislocations. ... 

Concluding we should note that the mechanism of ions direct attachment has been confirmed by a number of experimental studies of the current of growth of both 3D metal crystals and droplets formed on a foreign substrate [2.36-2.44] and isolated faces of single crystals grown in a capillary [2.45,2.46]. In general, every case of an i vs. r or an j 3D... 

Equations (4.6) and (4.7) describe the /(/) and the h(t) relationships if the two-dimensional crystal grows in the central part of the 3D crystal face. When the edge of a 2D crystal comes into contact with the face lx)rders the current starts increasing with a lower velocity, attains a maximum and then falls to zero when a complete monolayer covers the crystal face. Figure 4.1 demonstrates a sequence of current oscillations due to the appearance and spread of single two-dimensional silver nuclei on an isolated, dislocation...
