>One can have microdomains without a significant increase in misorientation e.g. shift dislocations between domains. However, some misorientation is bound to occur. Not sure I understand your statement " And as the blocks get smaller, the distinction between "changing unit cell parameters" and "mosaic block misorientation" dissolves."
I meant that as the number of unit cells per block decreases, the phenomena arising therefrom and from singly-different unit cells are less and less distinguishable. Further, it becomes arbitrary where one puts the boundaries of one's blocks--in the same crystal, one could draw boundaries to minimizes differences within blocks or to minimize statistical differences between blocks. And the unit cells at the edge of blocks--what does one do with them?
