Abstract A description is given of how colloidal hexagonal layers and cubic crystals can be interrelated. The experimental preparation of 2D layers by shear, their recrystallization to form 3D crystals, and the scattering of light, neutrons and X-rays by these structures are considered. The scattering intensity is best described by Bragg rods. It turns out that the transition from 2D layers to 3D crystals leads to an intensity redistribution along certain Bragg rods which allows the crystallization kinetics to be investigated.
