We have shown that the expression =2tan-1/ derived by Ranganathan to calculate the angles at which there exists a CSL for rotational interfaces in the cubic system can also be applied to general (oblique) two-dimensional lattices provided that the quantities 2 and /cos() are rational numbers, with =|b|/|a| and is the angle between the basis vectors a and b. In contrast with Ranganathan’s results, N;given by N=tan2() needs no longer be an integer. Specifically, vectors a and b must have the form a=(1,0);b=(r,tan) where r is an arbitrary rational number. We have also shown that the interfacial classification of cubic twist interfaces based on the recurrence properties of the O-lattice remains valid for arbitrary two-dimensional interfaces provided the above requirements on the lattice are met.
