Open publisher page 3 citations

Abstract

Abstract Two main types of elementary slices are differentiated and the correspondence between their thickness, crystal habit variation and degree of supersaturation is indicated. A transition from spiral to accretion growth with increasing supersaturation is considered plausible and in agreement with observed habit modification.
