Crystal, magnetic structure of multiferroic hexagonal manganite Date: February 22, 2016 Source: International Union of Crystallography Summary: Ever since Curie conjectured on 'the symmetry in ...

According to a team of scientists in Australia, the mineral lonsdaleite—a type of diamond with a hexagonal crystal structure—can be found in meteorites that were likely created when an ...

Hexagonal close packing is one of two crystal structures that derive from stacking close-packed-planes of hard sphere atoms. ... The lattice of the hexagonal close packed crystal is hexagonal and a ...

A recent article in Scientific Reports detailed the characterization of disordered structures in graphene and monolayer hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) induced by low-energy argon ion irradiation ...

Most natural and synthetic diamonds have a cubic structure but ultra-hard diamonds, also known as lonsdaleite, have a hexagonal crystal structure. Previously, ...

Crystal growth Bakkers and his colleagues at Eindhoven have produced hexagonal silicon before, but those nanowire structures were not able to emit light. However, following discussions with SiLAS ...

A: The shape of snowflakes is driven by the crystal structure of ice. As Benedict explains, the water molecules that form ice crystals (snowflakes) are made from two hydrogen atoms bonded to one ...

The diamond structures were locked inside the Canyon Diablo meteorite, which slammed into Earth 50,000 years ago and was first discovered in Arizona in 1891. The diamonds in this meteorite aren't ...
