Density functional calculations of polysynthetic Brazil twinning in α-quartz
H. Grimmer
and
B. Delley
A model of polysynthetic Brazil twins in α-quartz with composition planes parallel to a face of the minor rhombohedron
z
is proposed. Density functional calculations show that the proposed twin boundary structure has very low energy.
Keywords:
α-quartz
;
