Data Visualization - Project Contract
ESM 4714 - Scientific Visual Analysis and Multimedia
By: Kevin Dent
Date: 3/4/99
Title:
To use visualization techniques to view quickly and better understand specific crystal properties.
Background:
Through a joint research effort involving faculty and students of several departments including Math, Geology, Material Science and Chemistry, properties of bonding and how these properties affect materials have been studied. Our ability to understand the role of potential energy functions and electron density distributions could be greatly enhanced if a better method for visualizing these properties within the crystal environment could be devised.
Objectives:
The main objectives of the class project are:
Use visual analysis to view periodic minimal surface(PMS) and
periodic equi-potential surface(PEPS)
Develop a multimedia/web presentation of periodic minimal and
equi-potential surfaces which uses interactive Java based web forms
on the PSE web server
Tools:
PV Wave, CAVE, VRML, Web File Forms
