The most difficult aspect of the realistic modeling of granular materials is how to capture the real shape of the particles. Here we present a method to simulate granular materials with complex-shaped particles. The particle shape is represented by the classical concept of a Minkowski sum, which permits the representa…

A procedure for carrying out iterative model building, density modification and refinement is presented in which the density in an OMIT region is essentially unbiased by an atomic model. Density from a set of overlapping OMIT regions can be combined to create a composite 'iterative-build' OMIT map that is everywhere u…

A graphene monolayer has been prepared on an Ir(111) single crystal via pyrolytic cleavage of ethylene (C 2 H 4 ). The resulting superstructure has been examined with scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and low energy electron diffraction. It has been identified as a well aligned, incommensurate (9.32 × 9.32) pattern,…
