Abstract

A formula for the propagation velocity of the regeneration surface front is derived under the assumption of equal growth rates of the polyhedral crystal faces and the corresponding faces forming subindividuals of the regeneration surface. It is shown that both sharp minima (increase of the face) and sharp maxima (decrease of the face) can correspond to faces in the growth rate diagram. An experimental diagram of the growth rates of the [110] zone of potash alum crystals is constructed which confirms the analytical conclusions. It is established that the regeneration surface growth rate decreases with time. This effect is caused by the disappearance of rapidly growing faces from subindividual faceting. The faceting of a regenerating crystal changes in the direction of successive disappearance of sharp maxima in the growth rate diagram.
