In fact, magnetostriction is more complex and depends on the direction of the crystal axes.

These bridges form three spirals each at 90 to each other along the crystal axes.

As a result, the crystal axes can act as an internal reference frame during deformation.

Luckily, diamond's hardness is slightly different along different crystal axes.

For a crystalline target the orientation of the crystal axes with respect to the target surface is relevant.

Shear waves may also be generated by the use of elastically anisotropic solids cut at oblique angles to the crystal axes.

For alstonite X, Y and Z are parallel to the c, a and b crystal axes respectively.

The mineral belongs in the orthorhombic crystal system, or the monoclinic with β (the angle between the a and c crystal axes) close to 90.

The twofold axis is the crystal axis b, and the a and c crystal axes lie in the mirror plane.

Monoclinic (crystal) - Three crystal axes are of unequal lengths and one intersection oblique (other two perpendicular)

Lavendulan is biaxial (-), and most sources quote values for three refractive indices, for light travelling parallel to the three crystal axes.

That is, crystal axes and poles to crystal planes are intersected with the northern hemisphere and then plotted using stereographic projection.

The crystals are flattened parallel to the plane containing the a and c crystal axes, and elongated parallel to the c axis.

At each coherence length the crystal axes are flipped which allows the energy to continue to positively flow from the pump to the signal and idler frequencies.

For example, the monoclinic I lattice can be described by a monoclinic C lattice by different choice of crystal axes.

Intracrystalline slip plays an important role in plastic deformation of polycrystalline material and the crystal axes tend to rotate and a pattern of preferred orientation can develop.

Some substances, such as non-cubic crystals, can exhibit different thermal conductivities along different crystal axes, due to differences in phonon coupling along a given crystal axis.

It shows distinct cleavage parallel to the plane containing the a and c crystal axes, and this plane can also be a twin plane, although twinning is uncommon.

The magnetocrystalline anisotropy energy of a ferromagnetic crystal can be expressed as a power series of direction cosines of the magnetic moment with respect to the crystal axes.

First, the crystal lattice of most magnetic materials has magnetic anisotropy, which means it has an "easy" direction of magnetization, parallel to one of the crystal axes.

Crystallographic preferred orientation - in plastically deformed rocks, the constituent minerals commonly display a preferred orientation of their crystal axes as a result of dislocation processes.

In crystallography, the orientations of crystal axes and faces in three-dimensional space are a central geometric concern, for example in the interpretation of X-ray and electron diffraction patterns.

Unit cell parameters are the lengths of the sides of the unit cell, a, b and c, and the angle β between the a and c crystal axes.

Anisotropic scaling of data should ideally be done at the merging stage but often the distortion aligns with the crystal axes, and therefore cannot be detected from symmetry equivalent reflections alone.

It is reasoned that the lattice parameter of the rutile matches only one of the three orthorhombic crystal axes of the chrysoberyl, resulting in preferred alignment along that direction.
