The signal to noise ratio in all kinds of experimental images of more or less regular 2D periodic arrays is significantly enhanced by CIP and the technique is independent of the type of recording device. In the SPM imaging context, CIP can be understood as an a posteriori sharpening of the effective experimental scanning probe tip by computational means. It is now possible to remove multiple scanning probe mini-tip effects in images from 2D periodic arrays of physical objects that either self-assembled or were created artificially. Accepted within the scientific community is by now also the fact that SPM tips can change their shape and fine structure during the operation of a microscope and, thereby, obfuscate the recorded images in systematic ways. CIP restores much of the smeared out information in such images. The adaptation of a geometric Akaike Information Criterion from the robotics and computer vision community to the unambiguous detection of 2D translation symmetries enabled much of our recent progress. In the main body of this book chapter, we discuss this adaptation and briefly illustrate its utility on an example.","PeriodicalId":7001,"journal":{"name":"Acta Crystallographica","volume":"10 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74472966","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While 3D printing has been available for at least 20 years, cost and performance improvements have only recently made 3D printing practical for usage by college educators and the general public. There is also an industry wide 3D printing standard, the STL file format. Virtual reality freeware programs that include conversions from CIF to STL are openly available [1]. The more than 250,000 entries Crystallography Open Database (COD) has in recent years developed into the world’s premier open-access source for CIFs of structures of small molecules and small to medium sized unit cell crystals [2]. The International Advisory Board of the COD also supports a related project [3a], which provides CIFs for interdisciplinary college education. Three of these “COD offspring” databases have started to provide for free downloads of STL files of small molecules, crystal morphologies, and grain boundaries [3b]. These 3D printing files were created directly from the CIFs in these databases. It is now up to interested college educators to develop new pedagogy in teaching crystallography on the basis of 3D models that can be printed out from these files. To facilitate further developments in this field, there is a web portal of open-access crystallography resources to which all interested college educators are invited to contribute [3c].","PeriodicalId":7001,"journal":{"name":"Acta Crystallographica","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88726513","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Such approach can help to alter organization of strongly polarized donoracceptor molecules in crystals and make them useful for applications as optoelectronic materials. In the mixed crystals of I and II organic components are benzene derivatives such as isomers of nitrotoluene, low-melting or liquid at room temperature. Crystal growth of these materials has been done using zone melting technique and molecular structure of these materials in pure compounds was compared with their structures in mixed crystals. It was found that number of acentric crystals in the series mixed crystals of I with nitrobenzene derivatives is higher than statistical expectation. Explanation of this phenomenon can be found in specific intermolecular interactions forming supramolecular associates in these materials.","PeriodicalId":7001,"journal":{"name":"Acta Crystallographica","volume":"15 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-08-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85352641","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Tellurium (IV) can drive the formation of many unusual structures because of its stereochemically active lone pair electrons, E. It commonly takes a coordination of three or four oxygen atoms to form either a TeO3E square pyramid or a TeO3+1E trigonal bipyramid. These lone pairs are very important players involved in lowering the dimensionality of crystal structures. Previous studies in transition metal tellurium (IV) oxohalide quarternary systems revealed a family of compounds, many of which exhibit interesting properties e.g. magnetic frustration. The unique point of this thesis is to employ alkaline earth elements (AE) to augment this ability of lone pair elements to lower the dimensionality of the transition metal arrangements. By this double usage of “chemical scissors” (a lone pair element used in conjunction with alkaline earth elements) we obtained new types of low-dimensionally arranged compounds.This thesis is focused on the syntheses and characterization of a series of compounds in the pentanary (five components) system AE-TeIV-TM-O-X (AE=alkaline earth metal, TM=transition metal and X=halogen), in which nine new compounds were found. The crystal structures of each of these compounds were determined by the single crystal X-ray diffraction data.","PeriodicalId":7001,"journal":{"name":"Acta Crystallographica","volume":"249 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73538306","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
