Tropochemical cell-twinned

In the previous sections composition variation has been attributed more or less to point defects and extensions of the point defect concept. In this section structures that can be considered to be built from slabs of one or more parent structures are described. They are frequently found in mineral specimens, and the piecemeal way in which early examples were discovered has led to a number of more or less synonymic terms for their description, including intergrowth phases, composite structures, polysynthetic twinned phases, polysomatic phases, and tropochemical cell-twinned phases. In general, they are all considered to be modular structures. [Pg.170]

Examples of such materials have been known for a number of years in the mineralogical field, where the terms intergrowth phases , polysynthetic twinned phases , polysomatic phases and tropochemical cell twinning have been applied to describe the stmctures. In recent years, the application of electron microscopy has revealed the defect stmctnres of vast numbers of phases containing extended defects. In this section, some well-characterized examples chosen are chosen for illustration. [Pg.1086]
