Atomic force microscopy study of the growth mechnism of gibbsite crystals

A combination of atomic force microscopy (AFM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) has been used to investigate the crystal growth mechanism of gibbsite (aluminium trihydroxide) in pure solutions. Under the conditions studied, the growth on the basal face of synthetic gibbsite prepared from sodiu...
