On the Theory of Growth Twins in Quartz

J. L. Ericksen

5378 Buckskin Bob Road, Florence, OR 97439, USA

Being generally interested in twinning phenomena in crystals, the author became curious to know what can be done with available continuum theory, to better analyze growth twins in minerals. The most common mineral is quartz, a very useful material, and a variety of different kinds of growth twins occur in quartz crystals. So, he picked this material for his first attempt to analyze growth twins. The author is encouraged to find that, even at the elementary level, this does add something to our understanding of them. His aim is to elaborate this, using thermoelasticity theory and the X-ray theory described below.

Key Words: twinning • crystal mechanics • phase transitions • properties of quartz
