Abstract

Impurities can affect all stages of the crystallization process. Since they simultaneously influence kinetic and thermodynamic factors, they induce, at least theoretically, conflicting effects on nucleation and growth mechanisms. Kinetics are mostly slowed down by the presence of the impurities and only a few examples are known where they enhance growth rates. Adsorption of impurities occurs in kinks, steps or on the surfaces between the steps. The impurity molecules are either separated or linked to each other in the two dimensional adsorption layers which may include solute and solvent molecules. When adsorption differs on different crystal faces, the relative growth rates of the faces can change, sometimes resulting in habit modifications. Adsorption models and parameters relevant to habit changes are reviewed and a few examples are noted.
