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 (). The structures presented here correspond to the crystal structure gallery on my website(/steffenweber/gallery/StructureTypes/st1.html).On that 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 image smoothing.
