Equilibrium form of crystals and stable norm
The equilibrium form of a crystal is the shape which minimizes the total surface tension for a given volume. The surface tension itself is considered to be a function of the orientation of the crystal face within the crystal lattice. This function of orientation is identified with the stable norm on the second homology classes of a Riemannian 3-torus. Minimizing the total surface tension of the...
متن کاملCrystallographic preferred orientations analysis of quartz crystals in Psammite using electron backscatter diffraction,western Ireland
The present study investigates the crystal preferred orientation (CPO) of quartz crystals in psammitic rocks to ascertain the deformationmechanism using electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) on quartz crystals from north of the Renvyle-Bofin Slide (RBS) nearLetterfrack in western Ireland. Complete crystallographic orientations were determined for several thousand individual quartz crystalsin ...
متن کاملEquilibrium Shape of Crystals
This chapter discusses the equilibrium crystal shape (ECS) from a physical perspective, beginning with a historical introduction to the Wulff theorem. It takes advantage of excellent prior reviews, particularly in the late 1980s, recapping highlights from them. It contains many ideas and experiments subsequent to those reviews. Alternatives to Wulff constructions are presented. Controversies ab...
متن کاملEquilibrium shape of crystals
2014 The physical mechanisms governing the equilibrium shape of crystals are described. The roughening transition of a given crystal face is associated with the vanishing of the free energy of a step on that surface. Below the roughening transition, facets of finite size coexist with rounded parts of the surface. Near the boundary of a facet, the shape of the crystal is determined by a fluctuat...
متن کاملNegative thermal expansion in beta-quartz
M.T. Dove ()) Dept. of Earth Sciences, University of Cambridge, Downing Street, Cambridge CB2 3EQ, UK Abstract Computer modelling and theoretical analysis are used to explain the nearly zero and slightly negative coefficients of thermal expansion in b-quartz well above the a-b phase transition temperature. Quartz was selected for study as an archetypal material with a framework structure of sti...
