Abstract
The agreement between theoretical habits of crystals obtained from PBC-analyses and observed habits is often remarkably good, even though only the internal crystalline structure is taken into account. Sometimes discrepancies are observed. The purpose of the research described in this thesis is to explain these discrepancies mainly in terms of interaction of solvent with the crystal and to improve the theoretical habits. Most of the discrepancies are observed when the crystals are grown from a solution. Solvent interaction with the crystal surfaces is believed to play an important role in reducing the growth rate of the faces.
