    Let (S,L) be a finite linear space, that is, a finite set S whose elements we call points, and L a family of parts in S, whose elements we call lines, such that any line has at least two points, two distinct points are contained in just one line and |L|≥2. A subspace in (S,L) is a subset S′ in S such that for any X,Y∈S′, X≠Y, the line joining them belongs to S′. Suppose a family P of subspaces in (S,L) exists such that |P|≥2, every π∈P contains three noncollinear points and through three noncollinear points there is only one element of P. The triple (S,L,P) is called a planar space; the elements of P are called planes. Let (X,l) be a pair consisting of a point X∈S and a line l∈L with X∉l; let π(X,l) be the number of lines on X not meeting l and let H:={π(X,l):X∈S, l∈L, X∉l}. (S,L) is also called an H-semiaffine plane. Let n+1 be the maximum number of lines on a point; then the integer n is called the order of (S,L,P). In this paper the following result is proved: Let (S,L,P) be a finite planar space such that every plane of P is a {1,2}-semiaffine plane of order ≥5 and n+1 is the number of planes through every line of L. Then (S,L,P) is one of the following examples:(a) PG(3,n)∖π; (b) PG(3,n)∖{π∪X}, with X∉π; (c) PG(3,n)∖{π∪l}, with l⊄π; (d) PG(3,n)∖{π∪π′}, where X, l, π are a point, a line, and a plane of PG(3,n), respectively, and π′ is a plane of PG(3,n) different from π

    X-ray diffraction topographic study of twinning and growth of natural spinels

    Two spinel twinned crystals coming from Pegu (Myanmar) have been studied by means of X-ray topographic methods, optical microscopy and electron microprobe analysis. Topographs, taken with conventional and synchrotron sources, showed the presence of a twin lamella in both samples as well as the presence of cross-twinning in one of them. In particular, white beam synchrotron radiation source topography allowed to detect the twin individuals, to identify and to locate the twin planes, and to determine spatial relationships and mutual orientations of the twin components. By combining optical and topographic observations, an unusual morphology, flattened crosswise the twin planes bounding the twin lamella, has been outlined in both samples and related to the growthmechanism. Microchemical analyses showed that the twin individuals in each sample have nearly identical compositions,whereas the samples differ mainly for the Mg and Zn contents. These observations suggest that they grew in similar and chemically closed microenvironments. The results, taken as a whole, indicate that twinning and cross-twinning occurred since nucleation of the samples, and they mark similar growth conditions
