Figure 1
Schematic diagram of the molecular rearrangement at the contact interface between the parent phase (below) and the daughter phase (above); the width of the interface has been estimated as about half of a lattice spacing (Mnyukh (2001BB104, pp. 63–77). The interface is a crystallographic face of the daughter phase, but not of the parent phase. The frame shows the transfer of a molecule from the parent to the daughter phase to build up a new layer of the daughter phase. The process repeats itself after completion of a layer. Adapted from Fig. 2.17 of Mnyukh (2001BB104).
