Lattice arrays

Fig. 9 Assembly of DNA junctions, a Four of the junctions in motif 2 are complexed to yield the structure in motif 5. The complex has maintained open valences so that it could be extended by the addition of more monomers, b Square lattice formed from four-arm junctions held in a square-planar configuration (6) by protein RuvA, with TEM image of the lattice shown beneath. The scale bar represents 100 nm. Reprinted with permission from [47], c ID self-assembly of the motif 7 derives into a railroad track-like array 8, and the 2D self-assembly produces a lattice array 9. An AFM image of array 9 is shown beneath with a scan size of 400 x 400 nm2. Adapted with permission from [45,46]...

OD nanostructures of a homogeneous size distribution.By contrast, nanoparticles exhibit a greater range of sizes/shapes. l Nanocrystals are characterized by the presence of an ordered lattice array of the constituent subunits, as illustrated by a single nanocrystal of CdSe. l In stark contrast to a nanocrystal, an example of a nanopowder is shown that consists of microscopic grains, each comprised of nanoscale amorphous units.Xhe size regime that is intermediate between the nano- and microregimes is best referred to as submicron, The bulk powder scale bar is 200 pm. 

In the kinematical theory, we consider the diffraction of a plane wave (of wavelength X) incident upon a three-dimensional lattice array of identical scattering points, each of which consists of a group of atoms and acts as the center of a spherical scattered wave. Our problem is to find the combined effect of the scattered waves at a point outside the crystal, at a distance from the crystal that is large compared with its linear dimensions. In developing the theory, we make several important assumptions ... 

The important thing to note about these relations is that the reciprocal-lattice array of points completely describes the crystal, in the sense that each reciprocal-lattice point is related to a set of planes in the crystal and represents the orientation and spacing of that set of planes. 

Assuming a hexagonal structure for the underlying lattice defines one possible distribution of pillaring cations. It is of interest to consider how different distributions of pillaring cations influence the reaction efficiency. Consider first a distribution of cations that leads to a layered lattice structure built up of triangular lattice arrays. The number of pathways available to the diffusing species in the one-layer system is v = 6 for the two-layer assembly, all sites are of valency v = 1 and, for the three-layer assembly, lattice sites in the upper and lower layers are of valency v — 7, whereas sites in the middle layer are of valency v = 8. For a distribution of cations...

The important point is that all these results are independent of the complete form of the kernel Kq ot G—they depend only on the zeroth moment, the multiplication constant, and the second moment, i.e., M, of the kernel G, What about large, heterogeneous reactors In such reactors, which are always nearly thermal, the fissionable material is located in discrete fuel elements which are arranged in lattice array throughout the reactor. For simplicity one can consider the fuel to be concentrated at isolated, regularly spaced points, Xtjk- We represent the product of vt and the fission cross section, Xft(x) in the expression (12a) for G, by... 

The reactor core consists of 380 fuel channels, held in a square lattice array by circular end-shields, and contained within a cylindrical low-pressure tank called the calandria (Figure 5.7.2.). The calandria contains the heavy water moderator at low temperature and at near-atmospheric pressure. The calandria is positioned within a low-pressure steel lined concrete vault, filled with ordinary water. This tank provides biological shielding from neutron and gamma radiation from the reactor core (Figure 5.7.2.). 

The theoretical ID expression may be found using idealized unit cell lattice models. Wu [3,4] has suggested such an expression, based on a cubic lattice array for ID, as a function of volume fraction, and particle size for spherical, mono-sized particles ... 

When normal are drawn to all the planes in a ciystal from a common origin, the terminal points of these normals constitute a lattice array. However, Since the distance of each point from the origin is an inverse or reciprocal of the mterpianar spacings, this is called a reciprocal lattice. Figure 9.21 shows, near the origin, the traces of several planes in a unit cell of a crystal, namely, the (lOO), (001), (101), and (102) planes. The normals to these planes are called the reciprocal lattice vectors Oijy and are defined by... 

The lattice array is defined by three reciprocal lattice vectors in three dimensions. The magnitudes of these three vectors are given by...
