Microtopography of the barite (001) face during growth: AFM observations and PBC theory

Under moderate supersaturation conditions, crystal growth on the barite (0 0 1) surface takes place by the development of two-dimensional nucleation simultaneously with the advancement of molecular-height cleavage steps on the surface. The most frequent growth steps have a height of a half-unit cell...
