EFFECTS OF STRUCTURE IN RUBIDIUM ACID PHTHALATE (RAP) ON ITS SINGLE CRYSTAL GROWTH HABIT AND DEFECT FORMATION
邻苯二甲酸氢铷晶体结构对单晶生长习性和缺陷的影响

Large perfect crystals have been grown by using (001) seed plates from aqueous solution. It is shown that the great difference in the growth rates along positive and negative a-axis directions and the defect formation are closely related to the orientation of the key groups of carboxyl radicals(I) and the open structure (mainly the structural channels A and B), respectively. A proposal for improving the quality of crystals by changing the orientation of the polar axis a is given.
