Virtual Lab: Crystal Facets and Miller Indicies
University of Virginia
               
PROJECT OVERVIEW: This "Virtual Lab" website was developed by John C. Bean. It began under a grant from the National Science Foundation's CCLI program, and grew under subsequent NIRT, MRSEC and NUE awards. It has now been combined with Bean's Nanoscience and Sustainable Energy websites to form WeCanFigureThisOut.org (about / contact).
SOFTWARE TOOLS: The Virtual Lab's animations were created using the program "3D Studio MAX." The website is built upon PHP programming calling upon MySQL databases.
PAGE CREDITS: This page was created by John C. Bean.
LEARN MORE: Basic crystal structures and Miller Indicies are described in textbooks on semiconductor devices and solid state physics. Wikipedia also provides a good description that you can view by clicking here.
