Abstract
MANY examples of spiral growth have been reported since Frank1 introduced the idea of screw dislocation into the general mechanism of crystal growth. Amelinckx2 has reported growth spirals which appeared on chemically deposited crystals of gold. We also wish to report various growth spirals and related matters recently observed by electron microscopy on lamellar single crystals of gold, prepared colloid-chemically under definite conditions as discussed in previous papers3. Brüche and Demny4 also reported similar patterns on gold crystals and discussed the growth mechanism.
