Metal Print : Crystalline structure
Metal Prints from Science Photo Library
Crystalline structure
Crystalline structure demonstrated using a bubble raft. The bubble raft (or Bragg Raft) consists of a 2-dimensional array of bubbles of uniform size. These bubbles represent the atoms that make up a crystalline array. These bubbles have naturally formed a hexagonal packed structure, which is one of the natural types of crystalline structure. The bubble raft also demonstrates structural defects, ranging from holes (vacancy defects) to extended fracture planes (one across centre). There are also dislocational and substitional defects. All these defects are found in crystalline materials such as metals, alloys and semiconductors

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a crystalline structure, demonstrated using a bubble raft. The bubble raft, also known as a Bragg Raft, is composed of a two-dimensional array of bubbles that represent the atoms within a crystalline array. These bubbles have naturally formed into a mesmerizing hexagonal packed structure, which is one of the fundamental types of crystalline structures found in nature. What makes this photo even more fascinating are the various structural defects visible within the bubble raft. From tiny holes representing vacancy defects to extended fracture planes cutting across its center, these imperfections offer insights into real-world materials such as metals, alloys, and semiconductors. Additionally, dislocational and substitutional defects can be observed throughout the arrangement. Taken in an educational setting like a laboratory or classroom environment, this image serves as an excellent visual aid for lessons on crystal structures and their properties. It highlights how atoms come together to form stable arrangements while showcasing essential concepts like atomic arrays and molecular structures. With its scientific significance and aesthetic appeal combined with its educational value, this print from Science Photo Library offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate both the elegance and complexity inherent in crystalline materials.
