VESTA软件在材料化学课程教学中的应用——以纳米锑化铟孪晶结构为例

Utilizing VESTA Software in the Context of Material Chemistry:Analyzing Twin Crystal Nanostructures in Indium Antimonide

在材料化学的教学过程中,笔者将实验室制备的锑化铟孪晶纳米结构及其相关结构表征数据引入到授课内容之中,并借助VESTA软件模拟出锑化铟孪晶纳米结构的模型。通过在课堂上对VESTA软件的实时操作,生动展现了不同角度以及不同显示形式的三维孪晶结构。这种“理论知识讲解+软件操作演示+科研成果案例”相结合的模式,不仅可以加深学生对孪晶结构的理解,还能激发学习兴趣,提升运用科学工具解决实际问题的能力,实现课堂教学与科研探索的相辅相成。

Within the framework of materials chemistry education,this study incorporates indium antimonide twin crystal nanostructures and associated structural characterization data from laboratory experiments into the teaching curriculum.Additionally,we employ VESTA software to simulate the indium antimonide twin crystal nanostructure model.By using VESTA software in real-time during lessons,we vividly present three-dimensional twin crystal structures from various angles and display perspectives.This integrated model,combining“theoretical knowledge explanation+software operation demonstration+scientific research results case”,not only enhances students’comprehension of twin crystal structures but also ignites their enthusiasm for learning.Moreover,it fosters their ability to use scientific tools in practical problem-solving,bridging the gap between classroom instruction and scientific research exploration.
