We present the first in situ observations of the growth of a zeotype using atomic force microscopy. The {100} face of sodalite zincophosphate grows by a spiral growth mechanism forming an interlaced spiral pattern. This is caused by the anisotropic growth of sub-steps formed at the dislocation, which is related to the different condensation rates of zinc and phosphorus.
我们首次利用原子力显微镜原位观察沸石型的生长。方沸石锌磷酸盐的{100}面通过螺旋生长机制生长，形成交错的螺旋图案。这是由位错处形成的亚台阶的各向异性生长引起的，这与锌和磷的不同凝结速率有关。
