Is there any published report supporting the automatic transformation of tabular crystal habit into tetragonal bipyramidal?
Salman,
The tabular habit needs to be Isometric (the tablet is square) to allow for Tetragonal bi pyramidal development.
Sorry, but I do not get the question. Are you talking about the shape of crystals (why do you use the term "pattern"?) ?
If your question is whether plate-like crystals can change their habit into a bipyramidal the answer is: it might depend on the size. If crystals are very small the surface volume ratio might be important. From a certain size, however, I wouldn't expect it (if all other effects like magnetic, thermal, electric, chemical etc can be definitely excluded).
Yes it can.
