AN EQUILIBRIUM-THEORY OF POLYTYPISM
It is shown that statistical mechanical models with short range competing interactions, the axial Ising models, have equilibrium phase diagrams which mirror many of the features of polytypism. In particular (because of a subtle balance between energy and entropy), phases of arbitrarily long waveleng...
