The formation of three-grain junctions during solidification. Part II: theory

We provide a simple geometric theory of crystal growth which predicts the shape and final dihedral angle of three-grain junctions of an augite crystal with two plagioclase grains. The predicted dihedral angle Δ depends on the initial impingement angle ψ formed by the plagioclase grains, and also on...
