Relationship of Morphological Types of Dynamic Forms of Crystals

AbstractThe relationship of morphological spectra (sets of data on the morphological types of real polyhedral crystals and their probabilities under current physicochemical conditions of natural process) is shown for different simple crystallographic forms. The methods for constructing generalized and open polyhedra, reducing the multiplicity of symmetry-equivalent crystal faces, are proposed to describe the dissymmetry of medium (as the most general property of the crystallization process). A method for calculating the dissymmetry factor of a natural process is described based on the spectra of these polyhedra.
