The role of the twin planes in the rapid dendritic propagation of germanium crystals is examined on the basis of corner nucleation. A model is proposed, and it is shown that at least two twin planes must be present for continued easy propagation in <211> directions, in good agreement with experimental observations. The absence of the dendrite with only one twin is explained.
