Abstract

AbstractA method for prediction of deformation twin modes from analysis of the necessary atomic shuffles was developed for monazite (monoclinic LaPO4). This method is applied to scheelite (tetragonal CaWO4), xenotime (tetragonal YPO4), and zircon (tetragonal ZrSiO4). The predictions are compared to observations in these materials. Merit of the predictive method is discussed.
