The growth of crystals of the structurally related zeolites FAU and EMT may be characterized by layer upon layer propagation. This previously proposed mechanism has been confirmed by results of an investigation into the crystal growth features in zeolite Y by atomic force microscopy. The intergrowing surfaces of the crystal (see schematic representation on the right) are constructed by the deposition of sodalite-like building units, leading to the formation of terraces.
