Networks of interacting twin walls form hierarchical, mesoscopic structures in minerals. The typical thickness of transformation twins at T << TC is ~3 nm and increases at T -> TC as |T–TC|–1/2. The internal structure of twin walls is derived to be chiral in systems with coupled order parameters. The effect of wall bending is discussed.

KEYWORDS: twin walls, mesoscopic structures, wall bending, phase transformations
