Abstract
The origin of polytypes is considered, with particular reference to detailed calculations on SiC and ZnS. Why do they occur in these materials ? Are they equilibrium phases, frozen in from some higher temperature, or are they metastable artifacts of the growth mechanism ? The main emphasis will be on the nature of the rather long ranged interaction needed to stabilise polytypes as equilibrium phases.
