Details | The structure of crystal cells in two and three dimensions is fundamental for many material properties. Many elements, including Aluminium, Copper and Iron have e.g. cubic unit cells. ... Today some 80\% of crystal structure analysis is carried out on crystallized biomolecules with huge investments from pharmaceutical companies.
In two dimensions atoms (or molecules) often group together in triangles, squares and hexagons (regular polygons). Crystal cells in three dimensions have triclinic, monoclinic, orthorhombic, hexagonal, rhombohedral, tetragonal and cubic shapes (see Fig. 1). |
