Examination of point group symmetries of non-ferroelastic domain walls

Abstract We recall how the symmetry properties of planar walls can be derived and how the orientational dependences of domain wall symmetry are related to simple crystal forms used in crystal morphology. We present a sample page of tables that contain symmetry properties of all crystallographically different non-ferroelastic domain walls in continuum description and on simple examples demonstrate how they can be used in discussing tensor properties of non-ferroelastic domain walls.
