N2 - Zeolite A is one of most widely used and studied zeolites owing to its cation-exchange properties. Here, we present a computer program that simulates morphology as well as surface topology for zeolite A crystals. Results from simulations were compared with scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy images on the {100}, {110} and {111} faces of synthetic crystals. This allowed to further refine the program by varying the relative attachment/detachment probabilities of individual growth sites.
