This distorts the regular lattice structure in brass, so layers of atoms cannot slide over each other so easily. This makes brass stronger than copper or zinc alone.

J. W. Menter 1 succeeded for the first time in observing the lattice structure and the edge dislocation contained in it in crystals of metal phthalocyanines. This method is also applicable to the ...

This regular arrangement, known as a crystal lattice, forms as atoms or molecules bond in a way that minimizes the structure’s overall energy, creating symmetry and stability. Crystals form ...
