John G. Kester coauthored research on crystal structure.^[ref]

A crystal structure specifies the chemical species and spatial arrangement of the chemical atoms or ions in a crystal. For an ideal periodic structure, separate two ingredients: a Bravais lattice specifies the translations that repeat the arrangement, and an atomic basis of a crystal specifies the chemical motif repeated at every lattice point. The outward shape, or crystal habit, is a different description: the internal arrangement is what this article describes.
