Nanohub - Crystal Viewer 2.0, Kevin Margatan, Gerhard Klimeck
Nanohub - Crystal Viewer 2.0, Kevin Margatan, Gerhard Klimeck
Gerhard Klimeck
nanoHUB is an online compilation of tools for simulations. Equipped with 3-D simulations and a capability to solve very complex calculations, nanoHUB provides its users worldwide with various tools to help them finish their assignments. One of the tools available is called a Crystal Viewer Tool, an advanced crystal visualization tool. This tool allows users to generate various crystal types including their every single detail. Currently, a newer version, called Crystal Viewer 2.0, is being tested prior to its release. However, this tool is lacking some important features and a GUI that is not as user friendly as expected. The …

Next Generation Crystal Viewing Tool, Zach Schaffter, Gerhard Klimeck
Gerhard Klimeck
The science and engineering community is limited when it comes to crystal viewing software tools. Each tool lacks in a different area such as customization of structures or visual output. Crystal Viewer 2.0 was created to have all of these features in one program. This one tool simulates virtually any crystal structure with any possible material. The vtkvis widget offers users advanced visual options not seen in any other crystal viewing software. In addition, the powerful engine behind Crystal Viewer 2.0, nanoelectronic modeling 5 or (NEMO5), performs intensive atomic calculations depending on user input. A graphical user interface, or GUI, …
Distance Of Closest Approach Of Two Arbitrary Hard Ellipses In Two Dimensions, Xiaoyu Zheng, Peter Palffy-Muhoray
Distance Of Closest Approach Of Two Arbitrary Hard Ellipses In Two Dimensions, Xiaoyu Zheng, Peter Palffy-Muhoray
Peter Palffy-Muhoray
The distance of closest approach of hard particles is a key parameter of their interaction and plays an important role in the resulting phase behavior. For nonspherical particles, the distance of closest approach depends on orientation, and its calculation is surprisingly difficult. Although overlap criteria have been developed for use in computer simulations [ Vieillard-Baron J. Chem. Phys. 56 4729 (1972); Perram and Wertheim J. Comput. Phys. 58 409 (1985)], no analytic solutions have been obtained for the distance of closest approach of ellipsoids in three dimensions, or, until now, for ellipses in two dimensions. We have derived an analytic …
Model For The Director And Electric Field In Liquid Crystal Cells Having Twist Walls Or Disclination Lines, G. Panasyuk, David W. Allender
Model For The Director And Electric Field In Liquid Crystal Cells Having Twist Walls Or Disclination Lines, G. Panasyuk, David W. Allender
David W Allender
Two examples of the director structure and electric field in patterned electrode liquid crystal cells are studied using a recently developed calculational model. First, a display cell that exhibits a homeotropic to multidomainlike transition with twist wall structures has been considered for a liquid crystal with positive dielectric anisotropy. The model elucidates the behavior of the electric field. Calculations show good agreement between the model and direct computer solution of the Euler-Lagrange equations, but the model is at least 30 times faster. Second, the possibility that a cell has +/-1/2 disclination lines instead of a wall defect is probed. A …
