Copper anisotropic

Studies have been made on the rate of growth of oxide films on different crystal faces of a metal using ellipsometric methods. The rate was indeed different for (100), (101), (110), and (311) faces of copper [162] moreover, the film on a (311) surface was anisotropic in that its apparent thickness varied with the angle of rotation about the film normal. 

Assuming spherical symmetric charge densities, the fourth group is forbidden. Hence, these reflections provide information about the anisotropic copper displacement parameters and chemical bonding, and a correct determination of these forbidden reflections gives evidence of the data quality. 

In the closely related compound AgCuS, the sulfur atoms form a slightly distorted hexagonal close-packed array. The Cu+ ions are located in positions within this framework to form layers, while the Ag+ ions lie between the sulfur-copper layers. These Ag+ ions show a progressively greater anisotropic thermal motion as the temperature rises, until, above 93°C, they are essentially completely mobile, leading to extremely high silver ion conductivity. 

Nitrosyl complexes of both S = and S = are common. The S = nitrosyl complexes or iron and copper have slightly anisotropic g tensors (Ag/g < 2) with the anisotropy provided primarily by contributions of orbital angular momentum from the metal d orbitals. As an example, we consider the model proposed by Kon and Katakoa (1969) for ferroprotoheme-NO complexes, which is also applicable to the ferrous-nitrosyl complexes of heme proteins. In the complexes studied by these workers, the axial ligands are a nitrogenous base and NO. They proposed that the unpaired electron resides primarily in the metal d z orbital. The spin-orbit coupling would then mix contributions from the d, and dy orbitals.
