An orthorhombic strain is shown to transform a f.c.c. lattice into itself. A related transformation takes the b.c.c. lattice into itself. The energy barriers for two f.c.c. systems are found to be of the order of the melting temperature. Possible connections with melting, liquid structure and crystal growth are discussed.
