✦ Synopsis


The crystal structure of Lu-uranium resembles that of zinc but has lower symmetry. Comparison of the two helps to classify the twinning modes of the more complex case. The lowering of the symmetry gives rise to new twinning modes in two ways: because the reciprocals of some of the zinc modes become distinct twinning modes of the second kind; and by the operation of Mallard's law, according to which each lost symmetry plane may become a twinning plane. Most, perhaps all, of the twinning modes of uranium are thus accounted for. Among reciprocal pairs of modes, the twinning of the second kind seems to be the easier: the reason for this is discussed.

LE MACLAGE DANS L'URANIUM ALPHA

La structure cristalline de l'uranium cy ressembie & celle du zinc, mais a une moins haute symetrie. La comparaison des deux aide 2 la classification des modes de maclage de ce cas qui est plus complex. L'abaissement de la symetrie donne lieu B de nouveaux modes de maclage pour deux raisons: premierement parce que les reseaux reciproques de certains modes dans le zinc deviennent des modes de maclage distincts de seconde espece, deuxiemement parce que suivant la loi de Mallard, chaque plan de symetrie qui cesse d'en 6tre un, apres l'abaissement de celle-ci, peut devenir un plan de maclage. C'est ce qui explique la plupart et peut-Ctre mr?me tous les modes de maclage dam l'uranium. Parmi les paires r&iproques des modes, le maclage de seconde espece parait Ctre le plus facile; la raison de ce phenomene est discutee. ZWILLINGSBILDUNG IM ALPHA-URAN Die Kristallstruktur des a-Urans ist der des Zinks Bhnlich, hat jedoch niedrigere Symmetric. Der Vergleich der beiden Strukturen hilft die Zwillingselemente m dem komplizierten Fall zusammenzustellen. Die Erniedrigung der Symmetrie gibt aus zwei Grtinden Anlass zu neuen Zwillingselementen. Erstens werden die Reziproken einiger Zwiilingselemente zu defipierten Zwillingselementen zweiter Art. Zweitens ist Mallard's Gesetz anwendbar, wonach jede beim Ubergang zu niedrigerer Symmetrie "verlorne" Symmetrie-Ebene zur Zwillingsebene wird. Vergfeicht man reziproke Elementpaar~, so scheint die Bildung von Zwillingen zweiter Art leichter zu erfolgen. Die Griinde werden diskutrert.
