Measurement of two-dimensional distribution of surface supersaturation over a sodium chlorate crystal surface using multidirectional interferometry

The two‐dimensional (2D) distributions of surface supersaturation of sodium chlorate crystals with and without solutal convection have been measured by means of a multidirectional interferometry (MDI) technique coupled with the principles of three‐dimensional (3D) computer tomography. When solutal convection was present over a top face, the supersaturation at the center of the face was depleted by a factor of >0.9 with reference to the value...
