Popis: This review, for the first time, summarizes the results of studies of the defect formation mechanisms in mixed crystals grown from aqueous solutions. The general mechanism of interaction of a crystal with a foreign solution is described (reaction of isomorphous replacement). As a result of this reaction, the crystal surface turns into a mosaic of local areas where multidirectional processes (dissolution and growth) occur simultaneously. Data on mosaic microinhomogeneity, which is a new type of composition inhomogeneity inherent solely to multicomponent crystals, is presented. A new mechanism for the mismatch stress relaxation in heterocompositions of brittle crystals grown from low-temperature solutions is described; in this case, the formation of misfit dislocations is impossible and stress relaxation occurs due to the formation of numerous inclusions at the interface. The general concept of growing high-quality mixed crystals from solutions is described, using the example of K2(Co, Ni)(SO)2 · 6H2O (KCNSH) mixed crystals.
