The Influence of Lattice Imperfections on the Chemical Reactivity of Solids. The Growth and Perfection of TNT (Trinitro-toluene) Single Crystals

Abstract

This report presents an assessment of the purification and preparation of large perfect single crystals of TNT. In the course of this examination, studies were made of the polymorphism of this material and the influence of impurities on growth twinning. The defect structure of the best crystals was defined using X-ray topographic techniques.
