truncated cuboctahedronとは 意味・読み方・使い方

語源

From truncated + cuboctahedron, referring to a partial construction (the resultant figure needs further distortion to make the faces regular).

名詞

truncated cuboctahedron (複数形 truncated cuboctahedra または truncated cuboctahedrons)

1. (幾何学) An Archimedean solid that is isogonal and has twenty-six regular faces (twelve square, eight hexagonal かつ six octagonal); a great rhombicuboctahedron.

     The H'(S-S) type of linked truncated octahedra and truncated cuboctahedra is analogous to the fluorite structure with the truncated octahedra in the positions of the fluorine atoms and the truncated cuboctahedra in the positions of the calcium atoms.

     A three-dimensional network of linked cavities, each with a truncated cuboctahedron shape (Figure 6.5) through the structure, is thus formed; the truncated cuboctahedra are also space-filling (each shares its octagonal face with six others), forming channels that run parallel to the three axial cubic directions through these large cavities.

     Its pore structure consists of truncated octahedra linked to other cavities through 6-membered rings and of truncated cuboctahedra linked together through 8-membered rings.

使用する際の注意点

The term is considered by some to be "improper" or misleading, because truncation of an octahedron yields a form with irregular faces that must be further distorted.
