The lattice points are touching one another but not in the most efficient way. In other words, we are creating a lot of empty space between the atoms. In order to generate the simple cubic structure, ...

The face centered cubic (FCC) unit cell begins with a totally different layer, one that is packed much more efficiently. This figure shows the basic layer that will be repeated throughout the entire ...

The lattice arrangement continues in three dimensions. This is why solid ionic compounds form crystals with regular shapes.

Lattice Semiconductor (NASDAQ:LSCC) has had a rough month with its share price down 6.0%. However, a closer look at ...

The lattice arrangement continues in three dimensions. This is why solid ionic compounds form crystals with regular shapes.

Each change in shape or lattice connection directly affects how the material behaves, consistently showing a transition between fluid and solid-like states under different conditions. Highlighting the ...
