Crystallography, materials and computation

The growing role of structural studies of materials and of computation in structural science is highlighted.

X-ray-Induced Secondary Electron Emission in Porous Materials

Electron emission induced by X-ray radiation in secondary-emission porous materials was investigated. © 2000 MAIK “Nauka/Interperiodica”. Secondary-emission porous materials are widely used as a working substance in electromagnetic and corpuscular radiation detectors [1–5]. The detection process in this case is governed by the interaction between primary radiation and a porous material, fastpri...

Electron crystallography – an introduction

Everything in Nature, macroscopic or microscopic, inorganic, organic or biological, has its specific properties. Most properties of matter depend on the structures, and many techniques have been developed over the centuries for structure analysis. The greatest of them all, structure analysis of single crystals by X-ray diffraction, X-ray crystallography, was founded in 1912 and is still today t...

Electron crystallography of membrane proteins.

Electron crystallography studies the structure of two-dimensional crystals of membrane proteins or other crystalline arrays. This method has been used to determine the atomic structures of six membrane proteins and tubulin, as well as several other structures at a slightly lower resolution, where secondary structure motifs could be identified. To preserve the high-resolution structure of 2D cry...
