ALCHEMY. “Once a mesocrystal is formed, it can be transformed to a mesocrystal of another mineral system by topotactic conversion under favorable conditions. The term topotaxy (Greek; “topos” = “space” and “taxis” = “in ordered manner”) describes all solid state reactions that lead to a material with crystal orientations, which are correlated with crystal orientations in the initial product.”
