The effect of Na3(PO3)3 on the growth KDP crystal (101) faces was studied by Michelson interference technique and atomic force microscopy. experimental results show that rates were near zero at low supersaturation when doped into solution, i.e., there a interval similar to "growth dead zone". began increase rapidly as crossed zone" continued increase. increased doping concentration increased. In addition, anisotropy hillocks decreased competition became more intense gradually in solution confirmed supersaturation. calculated surface free energies three adjacent planes they with always αI, αII > αIII.
