Application of Materials Studio Modeling in Crystal Structure

Article Preview

Abstract:

Modeling of crystal structure in material science curriculum was practiced and applied to keep it simple and understandable by using MS. The unit cells and atomic configurations are produced to show the theory system of geometry description of crystal structure. Many examples, as diamond, graphite, nanomaterial and advanced carbon materials, are employed to describe the main application of MS in material science teaching. According to these atomic modeling configurations, crystal structures exhibit a clearly and understandable appearance for us. So, the meaning of learning and understanding the related parameters of geometry description of crystal structure was explored with the point which helped students to realize and master the abstract concepts of crystal structure.
