Harmonic Principles of Elemental Crystals—From Atomic Interaction to Fundamental Symmetry

Harmonic Principles of Elemental Crystals—From Atomic Interaction to Fundamental Symmetry

The formation of crystals and symmetry on the atomic scale has persistently attracted scientists through the ages. The structure itself and its subtle dependence on boundary conditions is a reflection of three principles: atomic attraction, repulsion, and the limitations in 3D space. This involves a...
