Crystal Structures

Preface

This is volume five in the series of picture books that I am creating for educational purposes.All images in this volume were created using the program JPOWD from MDI(www.materialsdata.com). The structures presented here correspond to the crystal structuregallery on my website (www.jcrystal.com/steffenweber/gallery/StructureTypes/st1.html). Onthat website you can also find further data, such as unit cell parameters and atom coordinates .

I recommend using Acrobat Reader 6.0 or higher, because these newer versions feature imagesmoothing.
