Crystal Viewer

The Crystal Viewer in ANTSY enables the interactive visualization different Bravais lattices, crystal planes, and materials (diamond, silicon, indium arsenide, gallium arsenide, graphene, and buckyball). We are in the process of creating a new, more interactive version of Crystal Viewer, to be released around the 20th of August.

For Crystal Viewer there are several additional resources:

• First-Time User Guide (which needs some updating from the prior tool version look)
• A homework assignment in MS Word and Adobe PDF format.
• An Exercise on Crystal Lattices

Carbon Nanotubes and Graphene Sheets

Carbon nanotubes and graphene ribbons made of the single element carbon have attracted significant interest in the nanotechnology research community. The CNTbands tool in ANTSY allows students to visualize the geometries of materials and study their electronic structure.

Exercises :

• exercise 1, atomistic structure
• exercise 2, armchair CNTs
• exercise 3, zig-zag CNTs
• exercise 4, diameter dependence CNTs
