In a sodium chloride crystal, the sodium and chlorine ions arrange themselves in a repeating pattern known as a lattice.

[Chase]’s crystal-growing efforts have shown up here before, when he turned humble table salt into beautiful cubic crystals. We find the whole crystal-growing process fascinating, and we’re ...

Silicon has the diamond cubic crystal structure with a lattice parameter of 0.543 nm. The nearest neighbor distance is 0.235 nm. The diamond cubic crystal structure has an fcc lattice with a basis of ...

The electronic configuration of Aluminum is (Ne)(3s) 2 (3p) 1, and it has an atomic radius of 0.143 nm. At room temperature Aluminum has the face-centered-cubic crystal structure with a basis of one ...

But very few of them have been discovered. Theoreticians had predicted that isotopically pure cubic boron nitride (c-BN), should have extremely high thermal conductivity - second only to crystals made ...

Alfa Chemistry, one of the market leaders in materials science, continues to add industry presence with the growth of its syndiamond portfolio. Recently in a strategic move, the company introduced ...
