A Study of Growth Mechanism of KDP and ADP Crystals by Means of Quantum Chemistry

Impurity adsorption, crystal growth by adsorption of growth unit and step-pinning mechanism of metal ion adsorption were investigated for potassium dihydrogen phosphate (KDP; KH2PO4) and ammonium dihydrogen phosphate (ADP; NH4H2PO4) by quantum chemistry. In this study, the ideal crystal morphologies...
