An Introduction to Crystallography, Elements of crystals crystal systems: Cubic (Isometric) System,Tetragonal System, Orthorhombic System, Hexagonal System; Trigonal System, Monoclinic System, Triclinic System
This is the plenary talk given by Prof Shyue Ping Ong at the 57th Sanibel Symposium held on St Simon's Island in Georgia, USA.
Abstract: Powered by methodological breakthroughs and computing advances, electronic structure methods have today become an indispensable toolkit in the materials designer’s arsenal. In this talk, I will discuss two emerging trends that holds the promise to continue to push the envelope in computational design of materials. The first trend is the development of robust software and data frameworks for the automatic generation, storage and analysis of materials data sets. The second is the advent of reliable central materials data repositories, such as the Materials Project, which provides the research community with efficient access to large quantities of property information that can be mined for trends or new materials. I will show how we have leveraged on these new tools to accelerate discovery and design in energy and structural materials as well as our efforts in contributing back to the community through further tool or data development. I will also provide my perspective on future challenges in high-throughput computational materials design.

A New Approach to Output-Sensitive Voronoi Diagrams and Delaunay TriangulationsDon Sheehy
We describe a new algorithm for computing the Voronoi diagram of a set of $n$ points in constant-dimensional Euclidean space. The running time of our algorithm is $O(f \log n \log \spread)$ where $f$ is the output complexity of the Voronoi diagram and $\spread$ is the spread of the input, the ratio of largest to smallest pairwise distances. Despite the simplicity of the algorithm and its analysis, it improves on the state of the art for all inputs with polynomial spread and near-linear output size. The key idea is to first build the Voronoi diagram of a superset of the input points using ideas from Voronoi refinement mesh generation. Then, the extra points are removed in a straightforward way that allows the total work to be bounded in terms of the output complexity, yielding the output sensitive bound. The removal only involves local flips and is inspired by kinetic data structures.
Crystallography and X-ray diffraction (XRD) Likhith KLIKHITHK1
Atoms in materials are arranged into crystal structures and microstructures.
Periodic arrangement of atoms depends strongly on external factors such as temperature, pressure, and cooling rate during solidification. Solid elements and their compounds are classified into amorphous, polycrystalline, and single crystalline materials. The amorphous solid materials are isotropic in nature because their atomic arrangements are not regular and possess the same properties in all directions. In contrast, the crystalline materials are anisotropic because their atoms are arranged in regular and repeated pattern, and their properties vary with direction. The polycrystalline materials are combinations of several crystals of varying shapes and sizes. The properties of polycrystalline materials are strongly dependent on distribution of crystals sizes, shapes, and orientations within the individual crystal. Diffraction pattern or intensities of X-ray diffraction techniques are used for characterizing and probing arrangement of atoms in each unit cell, position of atoms, and atomic spacing angles because of comparative wavelength of X-ray to atomic size.The X-ray diffraction, which is a non-destructive technique, has wide range of material analysis including minerals, metals, polymers, ceramics, plastics, semiconductors, and solar cells. The technique also has wide industry application including aerospace, power generation, microelectronics, and several others. The X-ray crystallography remained a complex field of study despite wide industrial applications.
Surveillance refers to the task of observing a scene, often for lengthy periods in search of particular objects or particular behaviour. This task has many applications, foremost among them is security (monitoring for undesirable behaviour such as theft or vandalism), but increasing numbers of others in areas such as agriculture also exist. Historically, closed circuit TV (CCTV) surveillance has been mundane and labour Intensive, involving personnel scanning multiple screens, but the advent of reasonably priced fast hardware means that automatic surveillance is becoming a realistic task to attempt in real time. Several attempts at this are underway.
Students learn the definition of slope and calculate the slope of lines.
Students also learn to consider the slopes of parallel lines and perpendicular lines.

In this talk at the CECAM 2015 Workshop on Future Technologies in Automated Atomistic Simulations, I will discuss the Materials Project Ecosystem, an initiative to develop a comprehensive set of open-source software and data tools for materials informatics. The Materials Project is a US Department of Energy-funded initiative to make the computed properties of all known inorganic materials publicly available to all materials researchers to accelerate materials innovation. Today, the Materials Project database boasts more than 58,000 materials, covering a broad range of properties, including energetic properties (e.g., phase and aqueous stability, reaction energies), electronic structure (bandstructures, DOSs) and structural and mechanical properties (e.g., elastic constants).
A linchpin of the Materials Project is its robust data and software infrastructure, built on best open-source software development practices such as continuous testing and integration, and comprehensive documentation. I will provide an overview of the open-source software modules that have been developed for materials analysis (Python Materials Genomics), error handling (Custodian) and scientific workflow management (FireWorks), as well as the Materials API, a first-of-its-kind interface for accessing materials data based on REpresentational State Transfer (REST) principles. I will show a materials researcher may use and build on these software and data tools for materials informatics as well as to accelerate his own research.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

15. Crystallographic Restriction Theorem
¡ We have thus far seen 2D nets with 2, 4 and 6-fold
rotational symmetry. How do we know these are all the
possible rotational symmetries?
¡ It can be demonstrated mathematically that only 2, 3, 4
and 6-fold rotational symmetries are compatible with
crystallographic lattices.

through the origin
¡ Thus far, we have limited our discussion to operations that
pass through the origin.

origin can be decomposed into three consecutive

23. Symmetry operations and their matrix
representations
¡ As seen earlier, all rotation matrices have det(D) = +1
¡ Inspecting the matrix representations of all the symmetry
operations thus far, we find that:
¡ Symmetry operations of the first kind have det(D) = +1
¡ Symmetry operations of the second kind have det(D) = -1

Frame
¡Always comprised of integers
¡General approach
¡ Determine how the symmetry operation changes the
crystal lattice vectors
¡ Express lattice vectors after symmetry operation as a
linear combination of the lattice vectors before symmetry
operation
¡ Construct transformation matrix mapping original lattice
vectors to lattice vectors after symmetry operation
¡ Take transpose of transformation matrix.

matrices in the crystal frame:
i. Two-fold rotation about b-axis in
monoclinic lattice
ii. Reflection about a-c plane in the
orthorhombic lattice.
iii. 3-fold rotation axis parallel to [111] in

existing symmetry operations (this is a prelude to the

33. Properties of Symmetry Matrices
¡ Operations of the first kind (proper motions)
¡ Operations of the second kind (improper motions)
¡ As all symmetry operations are orthogonalmatrices and the product of
orthogonal matrices is also an orthogonalmatrix, we can infer that the
combination of symmetry operations result in another symmetry
operation.
¡ Furthermore, since det(AB) = det(A)det(B), successive combinations of
operations of the first kind leave handedness unchanged.Successive
odd number of combinations of operations of the second kind changes
handedness,and successive even number of operations of the second
kind leave handednessunchanged.

35. Point symmetry
¡ With the exception of the translation operation (and all other
operations containing a translation), all other operations are point
symmetries. A point symmetry is an operation that leaves a point
unchanged. What point is unchanged for all symmetry operations?

36. Combining rotations
¡ In some of our earlier derivations, we have seen that a
Bravais lattice can have more than one rotation axis. (e.g.,
a cubic lattice has 4, 3 and 2-fold rotation axes)
¡ We have also mathematically shown that for
crystallographic lattices, only rotations of order 2, 3, 4 and
6 are possible.
¡ Before we embark on deriving all the point groups, we
start by asking a fundamental question – what
combinations of rotation axes are possible?
¡ To answer this question, we rely on Euler’s theorem.
NANO 106 - Crystallography ofMaterials by Shyue Ping Ong - Lecture 4
36
37. Euler’s theorem
¡ Consider three rotation axes represented by the
poles A, B and C.
¡ Euler’s theorem states that if the angle between the
great circles AB and AC is α, the angle between the
great circles BA and BC is β, and the angle between
the great circles CA and CB is γ , then a clockwise
rotation about A through the angle 2α, followed by a
clockwise rotation about B through the angle 2β is
equivalent to a counterclockwise rotation about C
through the angle 2γ.
¡ For crystals,
¡ Also, from the cosine rule in spherical geometry, we
know that

combinations
We can separate out the
combinations into two separate
classes:
- 2-fold rotation axis
perpendicular to a 2, 3, 4 or 6-
fold rotation (known as the
dihedral groups)
- 2-fold rotation that is not
perpendicular to other rotation
axes.
