It is not. A 3D construction model shows how the ions are arranged in a lattice structure. These models usually use coloured balls to represent the ions. Some use sticks to show the ionic bonds.

The material offers a window into how the physical properties of quantum solids, such as light transmission, electrical conduction, or response to a magnetic field, relate to the underlying geometry ...

Furthermore, we envision our research being used to accelerate parametric design ... Gongora et al, Accelerating the design ...
