Abstract
The decomposition of brucite was studied directly in electron and optical microscopes. A small amount of decomposition caused marked changes in the physical state of the brucite crystal. The decomposition was interpreted as a normal nucleation and growth process in which magnesium oxide nuclei formed coherently with the brucite matrix. This process accounts for: (a) the structural relations between parent and product phases, (b) the small crystallite size of the product, (c) the cracking process occurring in the initial stages of decomposition, and (d) the range of d spacings observed for the magnesium oxide formed during the decomposition.
