Abstract

A new method for the express analysis of the sapphire lattice, which makes it possible to calculate surface energies of both rational directions and unfaceted surface, has been developed. The results of calculations have been compared with the experimental data on faceting the lateral surface of cylindrical sapphire single crystals grown by the Stepanov method.
