A new, simple form of a cubic equation of state (EOS) has been developed in a recent study. A comparison to experimental data and other cubic equations of state show that the new EOS is more accurate.

This single layer is the precursor of the simple cubic (SC) unit cell. The lattice points are touching one another but not in the most efficient way. In other words, we are creating a lot of empty ...

The simple cubic unit cell is delineated by eight atoms, which mark the actual cube. These are corner atoms, so each one only contributes one eighth of an atom to the unit cell, thus giving us only ...
