Abstract

The experimentally observed formation and evolution of a cavity in a pentagonal crystal grown to a particular size during electrocrystallization of copper are justified theoretically. A channel of relaxation of elastic stresses associated with the formation of a disclination-type defect is revealed, and the subsequent transformation of a pentagonal crystal with a cavity into a single crystal is described. The growing pentagonal crystal is considered an open thermodynamic system in which the formation of a cavity is adequately described within the linear approximation of the thermodynamics of nonequilibrium processes.
