The initial stages of an epitaxial phase transition: (bottom) nucleation takes place in a microscopic crack parallel to the cleavage plane of the parent phase; (middle) oriented nucleus of the daughter phase (darkened) formed by the consecutive transfer of molecules from one side of the flat microcavity to the other; (top) equally probable nucleus in a twin orientation. Adapted from Fig. 2.43 of Mnyukh (2001BB104, p. 137).
