  2. Crystal twinning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_twinning

    The relationship is defined by a symmetry operation called a twin operation. [1] [2] The twin operation is not one of the normal symmetry operations of the untwinned crystal structure. For example, the twin operation may be reflection across a plane that is not a symmetry plane of the single crystal. [1] [2]

  3. Crystallographic defect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystallographic_defect

    An example is the Stone Wales defect in nanotubes, which consists of two adjacent 5-membered and two 7-membered atom rings. Schematic illustration of defects in a compound solid, using GaAs as an example. Amorphous solids may contain defects. These are naturally somewhat hard to define, but sometimes their nature can be quite easily understood.

  4. Boundary tracing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boundary_Tracing

    Theo Pavlidis' Algorithm is a well-known method for contour tracing in binary images proposed, designed to methodically detect and follow the boundaries of related components. The technique starts by locating an initial boundary pixel, which is usually the first black pixel seen while scanning the image from top to bottom and left to right.

  5. Doubly connected edge list - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doubly_connected_edge_list

    For example, in the picture on the right, all half-edges associated with the middle face (i.e. the "internal" half-edges) are counter-clockwise. A half-edge has a pointer to the next half-edge and previous half-edge of the same face. To reach the other face, we can go to the twin of the half-edge and then traverse the other face.

  6. Perfectly matched layer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perfectly_matched_layer

    The striped borders correspond to perfectly matched layers, which are used to simulate open boundaries by absorbing the outgoing waves. A perfectly matched layer ( PML ) is an artificial absorbing layer for wave equations , commonly used to truncate computational regions in numerical methods to simulate problems with open boundaries, especially ...

  7. Physics-informed neural networks - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physics-informed_neural...

    Physics-informed neural networks for solving Navier–Stokes equations. Physics-informed neural networks (PINNs), [1] also referred to as Theory-Trained Neural Networks (TTNs), [2] are a type of universal function approximators that can embed the knowledge of any physical laws that govern a given data-set in the learning process, and can be described by partial differential equations (PDEs).

  8. Electron backscatter diffraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron_backscatter...

    An electron backscatter diffraction pattern of monocrystalline silicon, taken at 20 kV with a field-emission electron source. Electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) is a scanning electron microscopy (SEM) technique used to study the crystallographic structure of materials.

  9. Kirkendall effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kirkendall_effect

    The Kirkendall effect is the motion of the interface between two metals that occurs due to the difference in diffusion rates of the metal atoms. The effect can be observed, for example, by placing insoluble markers at the interface between a pure metal and an alloy containing that metal, and heating to a temperature where atomic diffusion is reasonable for the given timescale; the boundary ...
