Lonsdaleite is a hexagonal diamond that was discovered in 1967. It naturally appears at meteorite impact sites but has proven elusive to recreate under controlled conditions.. Its crystal arrangement ...

We present an investigation in the device parameter space of band-to-band tunneling in nanowires with a diamond cubic or zincblende crystalline structure. Results are obtained from quantum transport ...

The team put graphite (another super-hard material) under an intense amount of pressure, before heating it to 1,800 K (that's 1,527 °C or 2,780 °F). The resulting diamond has a hexagonal lattice ...

Most natural and synthetic diamonds feature a cubic crystal structure, although scientists have long known of a rarer, potentially harder variety possessing a hexagonal form. Although known to occur ...

Chinese scientists have come up with a way to create a high-quality “super diamond” in the laboratory with a hardness far exceeding natural diamonds. The researchers behind the development say ...

DIAMOND is generally thought to be one of the most perfect crystals occurring naturally: its atomic structure was first investigated in the very early days of X-ray crystal analysis. It turned out ...

While this repository primarily focuses on text-guided generation, we also provide pre-trained models for the DNG (De novo generation) and CSP (Crystal Structure Prediction) tasks in the chemeleon-dng ...

Scientists have synthesized cubic gauche nitrogen (cg-N) at atmospheric pressure, confirming its stability up to 760 K. This development offers a practical approach to producing cg-N, with potential ...

Specifically, NaCl forms a “face-centered cubic” (FCC) lattice structure. In this configuration, each sodium ion is surrounded by six chlorine ions, and six sodium ions surround each chlorine ion.
