Rhombohedral Twinning in Aluminum Oxide

  • Chapter
Deformation of Ceramic Materials

Abstract

A model is presented for the atom movements and structure of rhombohedral \( \{ \bar 1101\} \) type twins in aluminum oxide. The oxygen lattice twinning is the same as \( \{ 11\bar 22\} \) type twins in hcp metals. The aluminum lattice has the correct twin orientation but is faulted at the boundary and is not a true reflection across the twin plane.
