Systems of crystals

Any system of type II over a scheme S is transformed into a system of crystals by the crystalline cohomology functor. In this section we will describe a normal form for such a system of modules. Let S be a scheme and let... 

When we consider crystal structures we usually think of the pattern and symmetry of the packing of the atoms, ions, or molecules in building the lattice based on X-ray crystallography. However, detailed descriptions of crystals and their classification are much older. The seven systems of crystals and the 32 classes of crystal symmetry were recognized by 1830. The 14 Bravais Lattices were presented by A. Bravais in 1848. 

The Seven Systems of Crystals are shown in Figure 2.2. The relationship between the trigonal and rhombohedral systems is shown in Figure B.la. The possibilities of body-centered and base-centered cells give the 14 Bravais Lattices, also shown in Figure 2.2. A face-centered cubic (fee) cell can be represented as a 60° rhombohedron, as shown in Figure B.lb. The fee cell is used because it shows the high symmetry of the cube. 

For application, Eq. (II.4) has to be considerably simplified. The simplest model is the assumption of point charges. We take the crystal lattice as composed from the point charges nte, where e is the elementary charge. The index i, o < i k, distinguishes the different kinds of charged points (particles) within the lattice. Assuming the system of crystal axes already transformed to the principal axes system of the tensor, we calculate the coupling constant from... 

History and Preparation.—The incipient crystallisation of red phosphorus, which has been noted already, can be carried to completion by a procedure due to Hittorf,9 who dissolved red phosphorus in molten lead, and on cooling obtained yellowish-red translucent plates which had a density of 2-34 and belonged to the hexagonal system of crystals. Later investigators have obtained curved rectangular leaflets... 

Waxes usually present an orthorhombic system of crystallization, favoured by ... 

Among the classes of molecules able to form hydrogen-bonding-based tapes, the diketopiperazine (DKP) family now appears to be the most attractive [30]. The molecular packing in this system of crystals is less complex than systems based on CA M or cyclic ureas, because there is only one possible tape. The locations of the 3,6-substituents seems to protect the secondary amide groups from interactions... 

The second type of resolution by direct crystallization is knovm as entrainment. Here, the differences in the rate of crystallization of the enantiomers in a supersaturated solution give rise to a separation. Strict control of the conditionsforthe crystallization are required, with the system of crystals and solution not being allowed to come to equilibrium and time playing an important role. The occurrence of conglomerates has been estimated to be approximately 10% of all racemic compounds. We will now illustrate this phenomenon with some pertinent examples. 

A second possibility is to add the mother liquor immediately after the digestion but prior to the purification steps. The disadvantage here is the presence of ammonium ions. As already pointed out, ammonium ions favor the condensation of tungsten ions, and this changes the properties and behavior of the isopolytungstate solution in the solvent extraction process. Therefore, this type of mother liquor recycling affords a separate pietreatment to expel the ammonia. This can be done by addition of NaOH and subsequent heating. The ammonia evolved can be fed into the ammonia recovery system of crystallization. The treatment produces a precipitate which can be separated by filtration. 

A characteristic of many solids is their crystaUine state, i.e., a crystal is a solid bounded by faces meeting in definite angles. Except in the so-called regular system of crystals (cube, octahedron, etc.), the properties of a crystalline solid, such as elasticity, thermal conductivity, refractive index, etc. are different in different directions. The application of AFM to the studies of crystal structures has been of much interest. In the following we will give a few examples of such investigations. 

AS less than unity for nonadiabatic and greater than unity for adiabatic transfer. Three systems are discussed in which one might anticipate adiabatic electron transfer at van-der-Waals contact (1) the heterogeneous adsorption system of crystal and adsorbed dye, (2) the homogeneous analog-system comprised of the crystal melt and the dissolved dye, and (3) the capped porphyrin system. 

In the last few years, laser particle size measuring equipment capable of being used for on-line measurements in the fines destruction system of crystallizers has become available. Such systems can respond to particle diameters down to a few microns in size even when the solution is not clear. These systems have been demonstrated as effective tools in on-line control in crystallization equipment by Rovang and Randolph (1980), Randolph et al. (1977), Randolph and Low (1982), and Bennett and Randolph (1983). 

Curie understood that under stress, or in the presence of external electric or magnetic fields, the symmetry of a system is changed. The Neumann principle still applies but should no longer be based on the symmetry of the isolated crystal, but on that of the combined system of crystal and external field, as we have considered in Sect. 3.9. In the case of ammonia, application of an electric field has the Coov symmetry of a polar vector. The symmetry that results from the superposition of the field with the molecular point group 3 depends on the orientation (see Appendix B). In the coordinate frame of Fig. 3.1 one has ... 

It is the dialuminides for which there is the most direct Fermi surface data amongst the Laves phase materials dHvA measurements exist for CeAlj (Lonzarich 1988, Springford and Reinders 1988, Reinders and Springford 1989). The primary reason for interest in the dialuminides is that one may expect that there will be no direct f-f interaction and that the hybridization interactions will also be very weak lattice separations are well beyond the critical separation of the Hill plots and Al has no d orbitals to hybridize with the lanthanide or actinide f states. Consequently, heavy-lanthanide dialuminides have been studied as classic systems of crystal-field-split f states interacting through RKKY interactions.
