The case of the apolar {100} crystal facet differs from the {002} and {011} facets. Here little correlation between work and solvent residence time is present, it can be concluded that the processes of surface integration or removal of a growth unit would be the rate-determining step in the processes of growth and dissolution, respectively. Furthermore, high work of defect formation, weakly dependent on the solvent residence time, suggests that when present the apolar {100} face would present a low density of surface defects. On the other hand, the {100} polar surface, which exhibits opposite behaviour (low work of defect formation, strongly solvent dependent), when present is likely to exhibit high density of surface defects.
