Crystaline phases consist of atoms, or molecules, occupying nodes of lattices. Lattices are also interesting as starting configurations for dense disordered phases.
Building a lattice
Here are some ordered structures that are used as starting configurations in the computer simulation of condensed matter. The descriptions are provided with a view to the writing of numerical codes; in other words, a rigorous crystallographic formalism should not be expected.
2-dimensional systems
3-dimensional systems
- Simple cubic
- Body centered cubic
- Face centered cubic
- Diamond
- Hexagonal close packing
- Alpha-nitrogen structure
