Abstract
The effect of local deformation on the growth features on crystal faces has been studied on crystals of lead nitrate and potassium di-hydrogen phosphate. New growth centres form at these points and these can be initiated where desired on the face and if strong enough will dominate over the existing centres of growth. This can be done repeatedly, and it is suggested as a possible method for controlling flawed regions in artificially grown crystals.Keywords
