Polytypism, polysomatism, and twinning are fertile fields of research, and their basic principles—often coupled with the OD (order-disorder) theory—are powerful tools to solve and classify related crystal structures. Research on twinning and its consequences on structure and properties of crystalline materials is cutting-edge, e.g., dealing with relations between twin walls and piezoelectricity.Research & information: generalbicsscEarth sciences, geography, environment, planningbicssctetrahedritetennantitetwinningorder-disorder approachtetrahedral frameworkmodular structurespolysomes (series)synthetic analogues of mineralstransition metal phosphatesX-ray diffractionantiferromagnetsfrustrated magnetskagomé latticechemical orderingsuperstructurespryiteargyrodite-type compoundsultra-low temperatureRE-silicate-germanatehydrothermal synthesislayered silicatesmodular approachwollastonite chaintopology-symmetry analysisOD theorystructure predictionluminescence propertiestwin walltwin boundarymineralsemerging propertiespiezoelectricity in mineralssurface relaxationsanorthitePamieriteperovskiteOD structurespolytypismpolymorphismheteropolyhedral frameworkmodularitytopologyborophosphatesaluminophosphatesDFTelectron diffractionc-type reflectionsorderingcalciteglendoniteTEMResearch & information: generalEarth sciences, geography, environment, planningFerraris Giovanniedt311188Ferraris GiovanniothBOOK9910557527903321Modularity and Twinning in Mineral Crystal Structures3022608UNINA
