1. How to View (100), (110) and (111) Planes in Silicon Using Crystal Viewer 3.0

   24 Mar 2017 | Contributor(s):: Tanya Faltens

   This is a step-by-step guide that describes how to draw planes through a structure, and then view the structure, cut by the planes.This exercise may be helpful to understand the different symmetries observed on different planes in Si, and the different oxidation rates for different faces.

2. How to View Atomic Planes in FCC, NaCl and Simple Cubic Structures using Crystal Viewer

   Teaching Materials | 27 Oct 2016 | Contributor(s):: Tanya Faltens

   This step by step guide shows how to view atomic planes in some common crystal structures. The crystal structures can be sliced along the planes, and the atomic packing of each plane investigated.  Examples are given for viewing the (110) plane in an FCC metal structure, the (100)...
