"The crystal structures of the real world are extremely diverse. They are one of nature's deepest mysteries," says Kubo, the first author of the paper. "We thought that, in a way, we could get a ...

In the zinc blend structure the sulphur ions form an fcc structure and the zinc ions occupy half of the tetrahedral sites in this structure to attain charge neutrality. The crystal has a lattice ...

A research team led by Yuuki Kubo and Shiji Tsuneyuki from the University of Tokyo has developed an innovative computational ...

Sodium Chloride is an alkali halide with an fcc crystal structure. The basis is two ions, a sodium cation and a chlorine anion. The crystal lattice parameter is 0.563 nm. The diagram shows both a unit ...

"If the crystal structure was correct ... structure—the Neumann's principle requires the crystal and the lattice structures to have the same symmetry." Recent studies gathered extensive evidence ...

Ph.D. candidate Keegan Walkup, left, and physicist Patrick Huber work in the new lab that Huber is establishing to look for evidence of dark matter traces inside the crystal lattice structures of ...

In other words, they require knowledge about the crystal prior to determining its structure. This makes existing experimental data difficult to analyze when the lattice constant is not precisely ...
