摘要
Domain structures in mineral crystals could be categorized into three groups and several subgroups within each group, based on characteristics of domain structures and mechanisms causing domain structures: (ⅰ) domain structures constituted by domains with the same (or identical) crystal structure and chemical composition, including anti-phase domain structures, twinning domain structures, inversion domain structures, and translationtwinning domain structures; (ⅱ) domain structures constituted by two or more than two kinds of domains with the same chemical composition but different crystal structures; and (ⅲ) domain structures constituted by two kinds of compositional and structural different domains, including exsolution-induced and polysomatic reaction-induced domain structures. Different types of domain structures may display different phenomena in their TEM images and SAED patterns, due to different crystallographic characteristics of different domain structures. The domain structures in minerals may affect physical properties, chemical composition, and thermodynamic properties of minerals, and can also indicate the evolution history of minerals.
