Figure 22 Schematic illustrating the sliding-plane transformation mechanism: (a)zinc-blende structure, where brackets denote (111) planes, dashed boxes show planesthat slide together, and arrows indicate the directions of movement; (b) structure of(a) after successive sliding has occurred; (c) rock-salt structure, where dashed linesdenote (111) planes. Structures are oriented the same in (parts a–c). (From Ref. 51,reprinted with permission.)materials such as ceramics and semiconductors. The crystal-growth barriersto covalent nonmolecular solids are high and have historically been surmounted<strong>by</strong> employing relatively extreme conditions, comprising a directassault on the thermodynamic barriers to solid-state growth. The interfacialprocesses of adsorption–desorption and surface migration permit atomsinitially located at nonlattice sites on the surface of a growing crystal torelocate to a regular crystal lattice position. When these processes areinefficient or not functioning, amorphous material can result.
