Morphological stability is a complex problem, the clarification of which requires the simultaneous consideration of the natural transport of matter by diffusion and the surface incorporation kinetics, hence the distribution of concentration around the growing crystal (Seeger; Cahn; Chernov). In the present paper the instability of KBr single crystals due to the appearance of depressions on their faces during growth from aqueous solutions has been related with the actual concentration distribution on their surfaces and the directly measured growth rates.
