Sodium Chloride is an alkali halide with an fcc crystal structure. The basis is two ions, a sodium cation and a chlorine anion. The crystal lattice parameter is 0.563 nm. The diagram shows both a unit ...

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, ...

Zinc sulphide exists with two different crystal structures, the cubic zinc blend (top diagram) and the hexagonal Wurtzite (lower diagram). In the zinc blend structure the sulphur ions form an fcc ...

The crystal structure of the complex between the integration host factor (IHF) and DNA revealed that IHF induces two prominent kinks in the bound DNA, forming a U-turn 28, by the partial ...
