Crystallographic Methods, Principles, and Data. Third edition. By Charles S. Barrett and T. B. Massalski. (McGraw-Hill Series in Materials Science and Engineering.) Pp. xvii + 654. (London and New ...

When a liquid metal cools and turns into a solid, its atoms come together to form crystals. The structure of these crystals is not perfect. Sometimes an extra layer of atoms squeezes between other ...

A model showing how metallic bonds are formed - the first diagram shows the outer electrons in their atoms, and the second diagram shows that the electrons have become delocalised ...

The diagram shows a simple model of metallic structure. The metal ions are shown as tiny spheres, packed closely together in a regular pattern.

Metal nanoparticles are nanoscale structures composed of metals such as gold, silver, platinum, and copper. These particles typically range in size from 1 to 100 nanometers and exhibit unique physical ...

Microstructural analysis of this forged iron structure revealed an extraordinary convergence of properties that resulted in ...
