Mining | A. Induced orientation of the crystal lattice of an electrodeposit at the plane of contact with the undisturbed underlying metal b. Orientation of one crystal with that of the crystalline substrate on which it grew; e.g., halite growing on a cleavage plane of mica because the mesh of the net of halite nearly coincides in shape and size with the pseudohexagonal net of the mica substrate. Adj: epitactic, epitaxic,epitaxial. CF:distaxy; topotaxy; syntaxy. e.g., halite growing on a cleavage plane of mica because the mesh of the net of halite nearly coincides in shape and size with the pseudohexagonal net of the mica substrate.
