Mass Transport and Growth Kinetics Related to the Interface Supersaturations of Lithium Formate Monohydrate

The mass transport during LFM crystal growth at 312.25K was studied. The concentration distribution in the boundary layers and the interface supersaturations of the (021) and (010) faces were calculated. The growth kinetic data as a function of interface supersaturations were discussed, and it proved that the crystal growth was mainly controlled by continuous growth. The edge energy and kinetic coefficient were calculated.

Keywords: LFM crystal, mass transport, interface supersaturation, growth kinetics
