Type Alias Cleavage

Descriptive fields for the cleavage properties of a crystalline substance.

type Cleavage = {
    millerIndex?: string;
    quality?: CleavageQuality;
    type?: CleavageType;
}

Properties

millerIndex?: string

The orientation of the cleavage plane expressed as Miller indices {hkl}.

The degree of ease and smoothness with which the crystal splits.

The structural nature of the cleavage (e.g., octahedral, prismatic).
