Crystal structures

If you follow the links below you can click on the pictures to link to a VRML (virtual reality modeling language) file where you can examine the structures in 3D.  You will need a VRML player for your browser.  If you don't have one installed follow this link - Installing a VRML player.

Many of the images used here come from Steffen Weber's great site

Another good site is the "Making Matter" site at the Institut Laue Langevin in Grenoble, France.
