Abstract

Applying atomic force microscopy in single string scanning mode, dependence of fluctuations of step shifts on KDP crystal faces on time was determined during crystallization from solution. It was shown that fluctuation amplitude grows proportionally to t1/4. On prism faces fluctuations at dissolving were bigger than at growth and bigger than on bipyramid faces. Amplitude of fluctuations was not dependent on distance between steps. Interpretation of experimental results and computation of elementary parameters of crystallization was done based on theory of V.V.Voronkov.
