ViewStruct : A Tool for Visualizing Crystal Structures - Documentation and Downloads
02 Jun 2024 | Downloads
ViewStruct is a program that visualizes crystal structures and that can calculate and visualize the corresponding crystal graph. The crystal graph is a formalization that stems from the Hartman–Perdok (HP) theory [3, 4, 5]. HP theory addresses crystal growth and is particularly useful to predict...

Discussion on Hamaker Constant
02 Jun 2024 | Publications
The Hamaker constant is a force constant used for describing the van der Waals (vdW) force. The magnitude of the Hamaker constant reflects the strength of the vdW force between two particles, or between a particle and a substrate. It depends on the material properties of both the interacting...
