Abstract

We present the group of the Wulff plot, which describes the orientation dependence of physical properties of interfaces, such as grain boundaries, between two crystals of arbitrary spatial relationship. From the group of the Wulff plot, symmetry constraints upon the forms of crystals grown in crystalline enviroments are derived. Examples of other applications are given.
