Abstract

Experimental results available in the literature on selective etch pit formation on non-metallic crystals (excluding semiconductors) are discussed against the background of thermodynamic and topochemical adsorption theories of etching. The main purpose of the article is to deduce general principles involved in the formation of dislocation etch pits, and to better define the role of addition of salts to a solvent, of reaction products and solvents in etch pit formation. In addition, attention is focussed on the need for experimental determination of the absolute values of the parameters involved in thermodynamic theories in order to explain the results quantitatively.
