Abstract

A model describing the propagation of a rhombohedral distortion in platelet CSZ–1 zeolites is presented. It is proposed that internal stress gradients grown into CSZ–1 platelets at synthesis are responsible for this distortion of the cubic FAU framework, where the spacings of 111 planes parallel to the platelet surfaces are elongated relative to the {111} planes. The presence of inhomogeneities is suggested by the presence of thin bands of twin faults which are invariably observed near the central layers of each platelet. Elastic modelling confirms that the effects of any stress associated with such twin faults will be most pronounced in the thinnest platelets, where the effects of elastic relaxation are minimal, and where the width of the fault zone relative to the platelet thickness is maximal. Platelet CSZ–3 and Y-type zeolites, which are considerably thicker, are therefore not expected to show significant rhombohedral distortion despite the presence of similar twin fault bands.
