Crystal Structure Visualiser

By Disobedient Media Ltd

Apple App Store: 2.5 stars

 

Our Rating: 4.0 stars

DESCRIPTION

This application was produced in partnership with John Metcalf at Sheffield Hallam University as a teaching and visualisation aid to be used in conjunction with supporting lectures. The aim of the application is to allow the user to zoom below the surface of three example elements and to explore their differing crystal structures. As the user zooms under the surface of the beautiful images, the aggregated structure flows into view, then falls away to reveal the underlying crystal structure. 

PROS

1. Clear visualization of crystal structures: Body-Centered Cubic, Face-centered Cubic and Hexagonal

     Closed Packed.

2. Able to rotate structures thus, giving a 360 degree view.

TAGS
CONS

1. Limited examples of elements/compounds which have the same crystal structure.
