Octahedral (red) and tetrahedral (blue) interstitial symmetry polyhedra in a face-centered cubic lattice. The actual interstitial atom would ideally be in the middle of one of the polyhedra. A close packed unit cell, both face-centered cubic and hexagonal close packed, can form two different shaped holes.
Interstitial atoms (blue) occupy some of the spaces within a lattice of larger atoms (red) In materials science, an interstitial defect is a type of point crystallographic defect where an atom of the same or of a different type, occupies an interstitial site in the crystal structure.
A polyhedron has been defined as a set of points in real affine (or Euclidean) space of any dimension n that has flat sides. It may alternatively be defined as the intersection of finitely many half-spaces. Unlike a conventional polyhedron, it may be bounded or unbounded. In this meaning, a polytope is a bounded polyhedron. [14] [15]
A polyhedron that has a midsphere is said to be midscribed about this sphere. [1] When a polyhedron has a midsphere, one can form two perpendicular circle packings on the midsphere, one corresponding to the adjacencies between vertices of the polyhedron, and the other corresponding in the same way to its polar polyhedron, which has the same ...
Many traditional polyhedral forms are n-dimensional polyhedra. Other examples include: A half-space is a polyhedron defined by a single linear inequality, a 1 T x ≤ b 1. A hyperplane is a polyhedron defined by two inequalities, a 1 T x ≤ b 1 and a 1 T x ≥ b 1 (which is equivalent to -a 1 T x ≤ -b 1). A quadrant in the plane.
Three-dimensional schematic of the interstitium, a fluid-filled space supported by a network of collagen. In anatomy, the interstitium is a contiguous fluid-filled space existing between a structural barrier, such as a cell membrane or the skin, and internal structures, such as organs, including muscles and the circulatory system.
A convex polyhedron whose faces are regular polygons is known as a Johnson solid, or sometimes as a Johnson–Zalgaller solid [3]. Some authors exclude uniform polyhedra from the definition. A uniform polyhedron is a polyhedron in which the faces are regular and they are isogonal ; examples include Platonic and Archimedean solids as well as ...
A regular polyhedron is identified by its Schläfli symbol of the form {n, m}, where n is the number of sides of each face and m the number of faces meeting at each vertex. There are 5 finite convex regular polyhedra (the Platonic solids), and four regular star polyhedra (the Kepler–Poinsot polyhedra), making nine regular polyhedra in all. In ...
