Lattice beams design

The lattice-type shelf is functionally as good as the others, but it may not look appropriate for a book shelf in the context of a library. A second consideration is a combination of physical requirements and appearance. A simple plastic beam that will function adequately in terms of strength and stiffness may be rather thin. A shelf of this type can look flimsy even if it is functional. This impression is useful to the designer since the solid plate is probably an uneconomical use of material. A requirement was added that the design should look like a wood shelf since this is the context in which it is to be used. To produce the desired thickness appearance either a lipped pan with internal reinforcement can be used or, alternatively, a sandwich-type structure with two skins and a separator core. In either case the displacement of the material from the plane of bending will improve the stiffness efficiency of the product. The appropriate procedure is to... 

The set of planes including and parallel to the be face, and hence normal to the x-axis, is designated (100) because there is one such plane per lattice point in the x direction. In like manner, the planes parallel to and including the ac face are called (010) planes (one plane per lattice point along y). Finally, the ab faces of the cell determine the (001) planes. In the Bragg model of diffraction as reflection from parallel sets of planes, any of these sets of planes can be the source of one diffracted X-ray beam. (Remember that an entire set of parallel planes, not just one plane, acts as a single diffractor and produces one... 

Figure 7.16. Illustration of Ewald sphere construction, and diffraction from reciprocal lattice points. This holds for both electron and X-ray diffraction methods. The vectors AO, AB, and OB are designated as an incident beam, a diffracted beam, and a diffraction vector, respectively.

Double reflection X rays diffracted by one set of crystal lattice planes may have sufficient intensity to be diffracted again by a second set of planes that are, by chance or design, in exactly the correct orientation. The twice-diffracted beam emerges in a direction that corresponds to a third set of planes with Miller indices equal to the sum of the indices of the two planes causing the double reflection. This double reflection, travelling in the same direction as a singly diffracted beam, will enhance or weaken the intensity of the latter. 

Figure 6.15 Four Circle Diffractometers Two examples (a) and (b) of single photon counting devices. The goniometer head positions the diffracting crystal in the path of an incident X-ray beam. The devices allow for rotation of the mounted crystal through at four complete arcs (designated 4>, uj, 20 and k or x) in order to detect as many bW-reflections (reciprocal lattice points) as possible by diffraction counter prior to crystal destruction by the incident beam (Reproduced from Drenth, 1994, Fig. 2.9).

From the optimized lattice parameters of hexagonite, a simple diffraction pattern has been calculated (Warren 1990), of the Bragg spacings in the crystalline material enumerated out to fourth order. From this optimized diffraction pattern, a comparison has been carried out over a set of nine Bragg reflections obtained from an experimental study in which oriented, powdered C nanotubes have been cold compressed in a diamond anvil cell (DAC), on a specially designed high pressure beam line (Wang et al. 2004). Comparison of the two datasets yields a close fit over... 

The design includes developing its appearance that is to match its performance. There are lattice-type shelf, hanging solid structures from the ceiling, etc. They may all be functionally but may not look appropriate for a bookshelf in a library. A simple plastic beam that will function adequately in terms of strength and stiffness may be rather thin. A shelf of this type can look weak even if it is more than... 

As we will discuss in Sect. 5, one of the most important applications of two-photon photopolymerization is the fabrication of PhCs. By direct laser writing, PhCs with arbitrarily designed lattices could be created, which would facilitate the deep understanding of PhC physics and stimulate its broad applications in photonics and optoelectronics. For several particular types of lattices, PhCs may be created more conveniently by means of multi-beam interference. 

The two-step interference method, although technically a little complicated, has the freedom to design arbitrary lattice constants of different lattices. This is its significant merit compared with the single-step four beam interference by Campbell et al., which will be introduced in 4.6.3.
