Abstract We provide a detailed description and discussion of the interactionsbetween two narrow twins in diamond. It is shown that latticedisplacements result from such interactions in many cases, and fornarrow twins these can correspond to large strains that alter thebalance of energies leading to the equilibrium interfacialstructure. The accommodation of these strains and the modes ofrelaxation of the incompatible interfacial structures are discussed. It is shown that there are several modes of relaxation of the triplejunctions that can interact with each other in a rich variety ofways, leading to several structural degrees of freedom.
