Pairwise Correlations in Layered Close-Packed Structures
نویسندگان
چکیده
Given a description of the stacking statistics of layered close-packed structures in the form of a hidden Markov model, analytical expressions are developed for the pairwise correlation functions between the layers. These may be calculated analytically as explicit functions of model parameters or the expressions may be used as a fast, accurate and efficient way to obtain numerical values. Several examples are presented, finding agreement with previous work as well as deriving new relations.

Structures of piperazine, piperidine and morpholine.
The crystal structures of piperazine, piperidine and morpholine have been determined at 150 K. All three structures are characterized by the formation of NH...N hydrogen-bonded chains. In piperazine these are linked to form sheets, but the chains are shifted so that the molecules interleave. In morpholine there are in addition weak CH...O interactions. Topological analyses show that these three...
متن کاملInferring planar disorder in close-packed structures via ε-machine spectral reconstruction theory: examples from simulated diffraction patterns.
A previous paper detailed a novel algorithm, ε-machine spectral reconstruction theory (εMSR), that infers pattern and disorder in planar-faulted, close-packed structures directly from X-ray diffraction patterns [Varn et al. (2013). Acta Cryst. A69, 197-206]. Here εMSR is applied to simulated diffraction patterns from four close-packed crystals. It is found that, for stacking structures with a m...
متن کاملSpontaneous graphitization of ultrathin cubic structures: a computational study.
Results based on ab initio density functional calculations indicate that cubic diamond, boron nitride, and many other cubic structures including rocksalt share a general graphitization tendency in ultrathin films terminated by close-packed (111) surfaces. Whereas such compounds often show an energy preference for cubic rather than layered atomic arrangements in the bulk, the surface energy of l...

SFI Working Papers contain accounts of scienti5ic work of the author(s) and do not necessarily represent the views of the Santa Fe Institute. We accept papers intended for publication in peer-‐reviewed journals or proceedings volumes, but not papers that have already appeared in print. Except for papers by our external faculty, papers must be based on work done at SFI, inspired by an invited v...
متن کاملNovel lattice-searching method for modeling the optimal strain-free close-packed isomers of clusters.
Small icosahedral, decahedral, and fcc structures have been studied by unbiased global optimization methods or Wulff construction and Northby lattice methods. Strain-free close-packed structures are not much discussed because the structures are very difficult to optimize and there is no common strain-free close-packed lattice. We propose a new strategy to construct such a lattice containing all...
