60 years of IUCr journals

A. Authier

Synopsis: The birth and growth of the publications and journals of the International Union of Crystallography from 1948 to 2008 are described. Details are given of the pre-war history that led up to their creation and development.

Topological relations between three-periodic nets. II. Binodal nets

V. A. Blatov and D. M. Proserpio

Synopsis: The TOPOS program package was used to generate all subnets of 3- to 12-coordinated binodal nets taken from the Reticular Chemistry Structure Resource database. 38 304 binodal nets with novel topologies were revealed and stored in the TTD collection.

Crystal topologies - the achievable and inevitable symmetries

G. Thimm

Synopsis: On the basis of a link between a graph-theoretical description of crystal structures and their symmetries, atom positions are constrained. Examples show the presence of implicit and forbidden symmetries.

Temperature-dependent Debye-Waller factors for semiconductors with the wurtzite-type structure

M. Schowalter, A. Rosenauer, J. T. Titantah and D. Lamoen

Synopsis: The Debye-Waller factors of wurtzite-type semiconductors are calculated from ab initio force constants and fitted in the temperature range from 0.1 to 1000 K.

Relationship between the atomic pair distribution function and small-angle scattering: implications for modeling of nanoparticles

C. L. Farrow and S. J. L. Billinge

Synopsis: The exact relationship between the atomic pair distribution function and small-angle-scattering equations is established and discussed. This has implications for the structural modeling of nanoparticles.

The full symmetry and irreducible representations of nanotori

M. Arezoomand and B. Taeri
