  2. Close-packing of equal spheres - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Close-packing_of_equal_spheres

    Suppose, the goal is to fill a box with spheres according to HCP. The box would be placed on the x-y-z coordinate space. First form a row of spheres. The centers will all lie on a straight line. Their x-coordinate will vary by 2r since the distance between each center of the spheres are touching is 2r. The y-coordinate and z-coordinate will be ...

  3. 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 × ...

  4. 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.

  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. Barycentric coordinate system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barycentric_coordinate_system

    A 3-simplex, with barycentric subdivisions of 1-faces (edges) 2-faces (triangles) and 3-faces (body). In geometry , a barycentric coordinate system is a coordinate system in which the location of a point is specified by reference to a simplex (a triangle for points in a plane , a tetrahedron for points in three-dimensional space , etc.).

  7. Delaunay triangulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delaunay_triangulation

    For four or more points on the same circle (e.g., the vertices of a rectangle) the Delaunay triangulation is not unique: each of the two possible triangulations that split the quadrangle into two triangles satisfies the "Delaunay condition", i.e., the requirement that the circumcircles of all triangles have empty interiors.

  8. Hausdorff distance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hausdorff_distance

    Namely, let X and Y be two compact figures in a metric space M (usually a Euclidean space); then D H (X, Y) is the infimum of d H (I(X), Y) among all isometries I of the metric space M to itself. This distance measures how far the shapes X and Y are from being isometric.

  9. Chebyshev distance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chebyshev_distance

    The two dimensional Manhattan distance has "circles" i.e. level sets in the form of squares, with sides of length √ 2 r, oriented at an angle of π/4 (45°) to the coordinate axes, so the planar Chebyshev distance can be viewed as equivalent by rotation and scaling to (i.e. a linear transformation of) the planar Manhattan distance.
