Abstract

Abstract Disclosed are silver halide grains which have crystal faces defined by Miller indices of (nnl) where n≧2 and comprising a silver halide composition consisting substantially of silver chlorobromide; a light-sensitive silver halide photographic material having, on a support, light-sensitive silver halide emulsion layers at least one of which contain the above silver halide grains; and a method for preparing silver halide photographic emulsion containing the above silver halide grains having the steps of mixing a silver ion solution and a halide ion solution in the presence of a protective colloid and then forming and growing silver halide grains having a silver halide composition of 2 mole % or less of silver iodide, 1 to 99 mole % of silver chloride and 99 mole % or less of silver bromide, wherein the silver ion solution comprises an ammoniacal silver nitrate solution and formation and growing of the silver halide grains are carried out in the presence of at least one selected from the compounds represented by the formula (I), (II), (III) or (IV) shown below and the compounds having the recurring units represented by the formula (V) shown below: ##STR1## wherein R 1 , R 2 and R 3 , which may be either the same or different, each represent a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, a hydroxyl group, an amino group, a derivative of an amino group, an alkyl group, a derivative of an alkyl group, an aryl group, a derivative of an aryl group, a cycloalkyl group, a derivative of a cycloalkyl group, a mercapto group, a derivative of an mercapto group or --CONH--R 4 (R 4 is a hydrogen atom, an amino group, a derivative of an alkyl group, a derivative of an amino group, a halogen atom, a cycloalkyl group, a derivative of a cycloalkyl group, an aryl group or a derivative of an aryl group), R 1 and R 2 may be bonded together to form a ring, R 5 represents a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group, X represents a monovalent group formed by eliminating one hydrogen atom from the compounds represented by the formula (I), (II), (III) or (IV), and J represents a divalent linking group.
