Experimental solution to the question of the genesis of the vicinoids. Clustering
Authors:
Abstract
Vicinaloids, or vicinal surfaces, are those surfaces that, while forming the true faces of crystals and are very close to planes, are actually not planes, but highly complex and varied curved surfaces. But if, in general, during crystal growth, clustering, that is, the non-parallel staking of particles occurs chaotically, that is, equally in all directions (complete disorder of clustering), then one cannot deny the possibility of the existence of causes that disrupt this complete disorder and produce partial disorder.
