The only measurements of the isotope effect for a long bond are those of Meg aw [5] who compared the axial parameters of light and heavy ice. The expansion of the edge a of the unit hexagonal cell at 0°C is 0 003 0-001 A. Since the hydrogen bond occurs twice per unit cell in its direction in the 0001 plane, its expansion will be 0 0015 i 0 0005 A. In ice the oxygens occupy lattice positions and so the calculation does not involve any assumptions. 

TiSi2 is illustrated in fig. 2b. The orthorhombic structure consists of 24 atoms referring to 8 formula units. Hexagonal close-packed atomic silicon layers are forming perpendicular to the c-axis planar ring structures possessing centered Ti atoms. The lattice parameters are a=8.267 A, b=4.800 A, and c=8.5505 A [10],... 

There is a quite extensive chemistry associated with the so-called mesoperrhenates and orthoper-rhenates, which are derivatives of the [ReOj] " and [ReOg] anions, and various mixed metal oxides. These phases have been surveyed in some detail in Ae review by Rouschias. More recent developments have included studies on rhenium-apatites containing the square pyramidal [ReOj] unit, hexagonal perovskites with cation vacancies that contain [ReOs] , and the double oxides M3Rc2O 0 (M = Sr or Ba) and MsRe20 2 (M = Ca or Sr). ...

The unit hexagonal cell of graphene contains two carbon atoms and has an area of0.052 nm. We can thus calculate its density as being 0.77 mg/m. ...

LS. In the LS phase the molecules are oriented normal to the surface in a hexagonal unit cell. It is identified with the hexatic smectic BH phase. Chains can rotate and have axial symmetry due to their lack of tilt. Cai and Rice developed a density functional model for the tilting transition between the L2 and LS phases [202]. Calculations with this model show that amphiphile-surface interactions play an important role in determining the tilt their conclusions support the lack of tilt found in fluorinated amphiphiles [203].

Figure Bl.21.4. Direct lattices (at left) and reciprocal lattices (middle) for the five two-dimensional Bravais lattices. The reciprocal lattice corresponds directly to the diffraction pattern observed on a standard LEED display. Note that other choices of unit cells are possible e.g., for hexagonal lattices, one often chooses vectors a and b that are subtended by an angle y of 120° rather than 60°. Then the reciprocal unit cell vectors also change in the hexagonal case, the angle between a and b becomes 60° rather than 120°.

Figure BT2T4 illustrates the direct-space and reciprocal-space lattices for the five two-dimensional Bravais lattices allowed at surfaces. It is usefiil to realize that the vector a is always perpendicular to the vector b and that is always perpendicular to a. It is also usefiil to notice that the length of a is inversely proportional to the length of a, and likewise for b and b. Thus, a large unit cell in direct space gives a small unit cell in reciprocal space, and a wide rectangular unit cell in direct space produces a tall rectangular unit cell in reciprocal space. Also, the hexagonal direct-space lattice gives rise to another hexagonal lattice in reciprocal space, but rotated by 90° with respect to the direct-space lattice.

The many commercially attractive properties of acetal resins are due in large part to the inherent high crystallinity of the base polymers. Values reported for percentage crystallinity (x ray, density) range from 60 to 77%. The lower values are typical of copolymer. Poly oxymethylene most commonly crystallizes in a hexagonal unit cell (9) with the polymer chains in a 9/5 helix (10,11). An orthorhombic unit cell has also been reported (9). The oxyethylene units in copolymers of trioxane and ethylene oxide can be incorporated in the crystal lattice (12). The nominal value of the melting point of homopolymer is 175°C, that of the copolymer is 165°C. Other thermal properties, which depend substantially on the crystallization or melting of the polymer, are Hsted in Table 1. See also reference 13. 

Sohd hydrogen usually exists in the hexagonal close-packed form. The unit cell dimensions are = 378 pm and Cg = 616 pm. SoHd deuterium also exists in the hexagonal close-packed configuration, and = 354 pm, Cg = 591 pm (57—59). 

The stmcture of tridymite is more open than that of quart2 and is similar to that of cristobaUte. The high temperature form, probably S-IV, has a hexagonal unit cell containing four Si02 units, where ttg = 503 pm and Cg = 822 pm > 200° C, space group Pb./mmc. The Si—O distance is 152 pm. 

Titanium Triiodlde. Titanium triiodide is a violet crystalline soHd having a hexagonal unit cell (146). The crystals oxidize rapidly in air but are stable under vacuum up to 300°C above that temperature, disproportionation to the diiodide and tetraiodide begins (147). 

The known uranium(VI) carbonate soHds have empirical formulas, 1102(003), M2U02(C03)2, and M4U02(C03)3. The soHd of composition 1102(003) is a well-known mineral, mtherfordine, and its stmcture has been determined from crystals of both the natural mineral and synthetic samples. Rutherfordine is a layered soHd in which the local coordination environment of the uranyl ion consists of a hexagonal bipyramidal arrangement of oxygen atoms with the uranyl units perpendicular to the orthorhombic plane. Each uranium atom forms six equatorial bonds with the oxygen atoms of four carbonate ligands, two in a bidentate manner and two in a monodentate manner. 

Crystal Structure. Diamonds prepared by the direct conversion of well-crystallized graphite, at pressures of about 13 GPa (130 kbar), show certain unusual reflections in the x-ray diffraction patterns (25). They could be explained by assuming a hexagonal diamond stmcture (related to wurtzite) with a = 0.252 and c = 0.412 nm, space group P63 /mmc — Dgj with four atoms per unit cell. The calculated density would be 3.51 g/cm, the same as for ordinary cubic diamond, and the distances between nearest neighbor carbon atoms would be the same in both hexagonal and cubic diamond, 0.154 nm. 

Let us now look at the c.p.h. unit cell as shown in Fig. 5.4. A view looking down the vertical axis reveals the ABA stacking of close-packed planes. We build up our c.p.h. crystal by adding hexagonal building blocks to one another hexagonal blocks also stack so that they fill space. Here, again, we can use the unit cell concept to open up views of the various types of planes. 

At small strains the cell walls at first bend, like little beams of modulus E, built in at both ends. Figure 25.10 shows how a hexagonal array of cells is distorted by this bending. The deflection can be calculated from simple beam theory. From this we obtain the stiffness of a unit cell, and thus the modulus E of the foam, in terms of the length I and thickness t of the cell walls. But these are directly related to the relative density p/ps= t/lY for open-cell foams, the commonest kind. Using this gives the foam modulus as...
