Investigation of growth of AgX tabular crystals.
The process of tabular crystal formation during physical ripening of fine AgX (X=Br,I) emulsions is investigated. The tabular crystal growth is realized simultaneously via two mechanisms: ionic and coalescent. The relative contribution of those mechanisms to the tabular crystal growth is determined by the conditions of the physical ripening. It is possible to control the size and shape uniformity of the final AgX tabular crystals by adjusting the relative contributions of these mechanisms.
