Abstract
Growth twins of cadmium with a [1230] twin axis and a (0001) composition plane are formed during deposition from the vapour at high supersaturation. The twin crystals grow in the form of flat 'leaf' dendrites several millimetres in length and only a few microns in thickness, while other crystals in the deposit are three-dimensional, non-dendritic, and limited in size to a few microns. The experimental conditions under which leaf dendrites appear are given, the morphology of the dendrites and the arrangement of atoms near the composition plane are described, and a connection between twinning and the dendritic growth of cadmium is proposed.Keywords
