An experimental solution to the question of the genesis of the vicinaloids. Crowding

Abstract

Vicinaloids or vicinal surfaces are those surfaces that, while forming the true faces of crystals and very close to planes, are actually not planes, but very complex and diverse curved surfaces. But if, in general, during crystal growth, crowding, that is, the non-parallel position of particles on top of each other, occurs chaotically, that is, equally in all directions (complete disorder of crowding), then one cannot deny the possibility of the existence of causes that violate this complete disorder and produce incomplete disorder.
