The film provides an introduction to crystal growth and structure, focusing on sodium chloride (common salt) as a primary example. It details the process of crystal formation under a microscope ...

Strontium chloride is an inorganic compound with the formula SrCl2. It is used as a raw material to obtain other strontium compounds. Strontium chloride is also used as a coloring agent (red) in glass ...

Only two minerals, however - celestite and strontianite - contain strontium in sufficient quantities for commercial use, and these minerals are found predominantly in sedimentary rocks.

The crystal structure of diamond has two key distinguishing properties, notes mathematician Toshikazu Sunada of Meiji University in Japan.

These strontium niobate compounds show promise for developing advanced electronics due to their quasi-one-dimensional metallic conductivity.

Electrons inside crystals interact closely with phonons, defined as the discrete unit of crystal vibrations. The electron–phonon coupling strength is an important fundamental physical quantity ...
