Defects in Solids, Volume 15: Etching of Crystals: Theory, Experiment, and Application
focuses on the processes, reactions, and methodologies involved in the etching of crystals …

Ion beam technology is considered as one of the most effective and unique techniques for
materials engineering. Here, we show that the selective chemical etching is used …

In various insulators, the impact of individual slow highly charged ions (eV-keV) creates
surface nanostructures, whose size depends on the deposited potential energy. Here we …

Experimental results available in the literature on selective etch pit formation on non-metallic
crystals (excluding semiconductors) are discussed against the background of …

Chemical etching technique has been used for the first time to reveal dislocation structure of
the l-arginine hydrochlorobromo monohydrate, C6H14N4O2HClBr. H2O crystal on the …

Defect configurations in as-grown mixed crystals of ammonium-potassium sulphate have
been revealed by chemical etch technique with greater details for the first time. Interesting …

This paper presents the chemical etching and microhardness studies carried out on L-
arginine perchlorate (LAPCl), a non-linear optical crystal (NLO) with a view to characterize …

We have critically examined the growth conditions to obtain transparent and moderate
single crystals of K 1-x (NH 4) x H 2 PO 4 over the entire range of composition by several …

The surfaces of the melt grown doped KMgF3 crystals, grown by czochralski pulling
technique with 5% doping of NiF2, were investigated using an optical microscope The …

The ready availability of calcite single crystals and the ex cellent cleavage of calcite in the
(1012) direction have made the physical prooerties of this material the subject of a sub …
