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.Earth sciences, geography, environment, planningbicsscResearch & information: generalbicsscaluminophosphatesanorthiteantiferromagnetsargyrodite-type compoundsborophosphatesc-type reflectionscalcitechemical orderingDFTelectron diffractionemerging propertiesfrustrated magnetsglendoniteheteropolyhedral frameworkhydrothermal synthesiskagomé latticelayered silicatesluminescence propertiesmineralsmodular approachmodular structuresmodularityn/aOD structuresOD theoryorder-disorder approachorderingPamieriteperovskitepiezoelectricity in mineralspolymorphismpolysomes (series)polytypismRE-silicate-germanatespryitestructure predictionsuperstructuresurface relaxationssynthetic analogues of mineralsTEMtennantitetetrahedral frameworktetrahedritetopologytopology-symmetry analysistransition metal phosphatestwin boundarytwin walltwinningultra-low temperaturewollastonite chainX-ray diffractionEarth sciences, geography, environment, planningResearch & information: generalFerraris Giovanniedt311188Ferraris GiovanniothBOOK9910557527903321Modularity and Twinning in Mineral Crystal Structures3022608UNINA
