In the first recitation session, Dr. Klimeck will briefly discuss a new initiative, Chipshub.org, then move into an overview of ABACUS and demonstrate the Crystal Viewer Tool. This tool allows students to start with the visualization of a standard silicon text book unit cell, then expand the view to a larger crystal and immerse themselves into the various directional symmetries with activities such as viewing Miller planes and counting the number of bonds on such surfaces.
