Abstract

We apply our deformation theory of periodic bar-and-joint frameworks to tetrahedral crystal structures. The deformation space is investigated in detail for frameworks modelled on quartz, cristobalite and tridymite.

Keywords

periodic frameworks, deformations, flexibility, silica polymorphs
