Abstract
IN the Dauphine twins of quartz, the polarity of the electric axes is reversed on either side of a twin boundary. Structurally the change is slight. It has been known for some time that electrical twinning could be induced either by heating1 or by pressure2; but up to the present its elimination has not, so far as we are aware, been reported.
