Steinberger, 1966) have for this reason not yet been determined. Comparison of published ZnS polytype layer sequences with those known in SiC immediately demonstrates the fact that the numbers of elements in the Zhdanov symbols of ZnS polytypes are, in general, smaller than those reported in SiC polytypes. In other words, the percentage of hexagonality of ZnS polytypes tends to be lower. For SiC polytypes, the theory which explains the growth of most observed polytypes is that of Frank (1961) and Mitchell (1957), as modified by Krishna & Verma (1965). This theory is based on the fact that in SiC a thin platelet with (00.1) faces is at first formed. The platelet may have one of the structures 4L, 6L or 15L (these being the most frequent SiC structures). As a result of buckling, a step appears. Its height is usually less than the c dimension of the unit cell of the basic structure. A screw dislocation is thus formed which ensures further growth; the Burgers vector of this dislocation is a non-integral multiple of the basic c translation. It is very unlikely that for polytypism in ZnS the above model is correct in its present form. First, in the initial stages of the growth thin needles form with the axis [00.1]; such needles cannot buckle in the way proposed for platelets. Secondly, among the observed ZnS polytypes there are some which have large elements in their Zhdanov sequence [e.g. (17 4 2 3)], whereas on the basis of the Mitchell-Verma model such large elements can not be expected. A modification of the above model, or else a quite different one is, therefore, needed for the explanation of polytypism in ZnS. It seems to be, however, premature to contemplate such a model, since the number of known ZnS polytypes is still too low for meaningful comparison of experiment with theory.
