Abstract The results of dissolution kinetics and surface micromorphology of (010) and (011) faces of potassium dihydrogen phosphate (KDP) crystals etched in undersaturated aqueous solutions are described. They are then analysed from the standpoint of the theories of dissolution and growth. It was found that Cabrera's mechanism of dislocation etch-pit formation and birthand-spread model of growth may be applied in the case of dissolution of KDP crystals.
