  2. List of voids - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_voids

    Voids are particularly galaxy-poor regions of space between filaments, making up the large-scale structure of the universe. Some voids are known as supervoids . In the tables, z is the cosmological redshift , c the speed of light , and h the dimensionless Hubble parameter , which has a value of approximately 0.7 (the Hubble constant H 0 = h × ...

  3. Interstitial site - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interstitial_site

    [citation needed] In a close-packed structure there are 4 atoms per unit cell and it will have 4 octahedral voids (1:1 ratio) and 8 tetrahedral voids (1:2 ratio) per unit cell. [1] The tetrahedral void is smaller in size and could fit an atom with a radius 0.225 times the size of the atoms making up the lattice.

  4. Close-packing of equal spheres - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Close-packing_of_equal_spheres

    The distance between the centers along the shortest path namely that straight line will therefore be r 1 + r 2 where r 1 is the radius of the first sphere and r 2 is the radius of the second. In close packing all of the spheres share a common radius, r. Therefore, two centers would simply have a distance 2r.

  5. Tetrahedron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetrahedron

    The central angle between any two vertices of a perfect tetrahedron is arccos(− ⁠ 1 / 3 ⁠), or approximately 109.47°. [39] Water, H 2 O, also has a tetrahedral structure, with two hydrogen atoms and two lone pairs of electrons around the central oxygen atoms. Its tetrahedral symmetry is not perfect, however, because the lone pairs repel ...

  6. Sphere packing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sphere_packing

    Here there is a choice between separating the spheres into regions of close-packed equal spheres, or combining the multiple sizes of spheres into a compound or interstitial packing. When many sizes of spheres (or a distribution) are available, the problem quickly becomes intractable, but some studies of binary hard spheres (two sizes) are ...

  7. Delaunay triangulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delaunay_triangulation

    The Delaunay triangulation is a geometric spanner: In the plane (d = 2), the shortest path between two vertices, along Delaunay edges, is known to be no longer than 1.998 times the Euclidean distance between them. [7]

  8. Cubic crystal system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cubic_crystal_system

    The two colors of spheres represent the two types of atoms. One structure is the "interpenetrating primitive cubic" structure, also called a "caesium chloride" or B2 structure. This structure is often confused for a body-centered cubic structure because the arrangement of atoms is the same.

  9. Hexagonal crystal family - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hexagonal_crystal_family

    There are two ways to do this, which can be thought of as two notations which represent the same structure. In the usual so-called obverse setting, the additional lattice points are at coordinates ( 2 ⁄ 3 , 1 ⁄ 3 , 1 ⁄ 3 ) and ( 1 ⁄ 3 , 2 ⁄ 3 , 2 ⁄ 3 ), whereas in the alternative reverse setting they are at the coordinates ( 1 ⁄ 3 ...
