Atomic force microscopy experiments with modelling nature-like factors affecting crystal-genetic processes registered phenomena accompanying continuous transition from dissolution to growth (through the saturation point) on one and the same defect in a molecular hydroxymethylquinoxalinedioxide (CHNO) crystal. The conducted analysis of the mechanisms of attachment/detachment of the matter to the crystal, the calculations of nanoscale kinetic parameters and their further statistic processing allowed us to gain insights into the fundamental problem of reversibility of growth and dissolution. The findings will contribute to understanding of the theory of crystal-forming processes occurring near equilibrium and to interpretation of pictures of zoning in nature crystals.

晶体生长和溶解的不可逆性：纳米级直接观察和通过饱和点的转变动力学

原子力显微镜实验模拟了影响晶体形成过程的类自然因素，记录了分子羟甲基喹喔啉二氧化物 (CHNO) 晶体中一个缺陷从溶解到生长（通过饱和点）的连续转变的现象。对物质与晶体的附着/分离机制的分析、纳米级动力学参数的计算及其进一步的统计处理使我们能够深入了解生长和溶解的可逆性的基本问题。这些发现将有助于理解接近平衡状态下发生的晶体形成过程的理论，并有助于解释自然晶体的分区图。
