Evaporation Figures on the Surface of Sodium Chloride Crystals

Abstract

FIGURES which appear during evaporation on the surface of sodium chloride have already been reported by E. Kern and H. Pick1, S. Amelinckx and E. Votava2, and others. Here we report on figures obtained during evaporation experiments which recall similar figures obtained on the surface, for example, of silicon carbide by A. R. Verma3 and on sodium chloride by Z. Morlin4.
