Wyckoff Positions
In crystallography, a Wyckoff position is a point belonging to a set of points for which site symmetry groups are conjugate subgroups of the space group. Crystallography tables give the Wyckoff positions for different space groups. For any point in a unit cell, given by fractional coordinates, you can apply a symmetry operation to this point. In some cases it will move to new coordinates, while in other cases the point will remain unaffected. For example, reflecting across a mirror plane will switch all the points left and right of the mirror plane, but points exactly on the mirror plane itself will not move. We can test every symmetry operation in the crystal's point group and keep track of whether the specified point is invariant under the operation or not. The finite list of all symmetry operations which leave the given point invariant taken together make up another group, which is known as the ''site symmetry group'' of that point. By definition, all points with the same site sy ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Cape Wyckoff
Cape Clarence Wyckoff ( da, Kap Clarence Wyckoff), also known as Cape Wyckoff, is a broad headland in the Wandel Sea, Arctic Ocean, northernmost Greenland. Administratively it is part of the Northeast Greenland National Park. History In 1900 Peary explored the north coast of Greenland from Cape Washington in the west to a place he named Wyckoff Island in the east, on the way reaching Cape Morris Jesup, the northernmost point of mainland Greenland. Cape Wyckoff was visible in the distance and was named by Robert Peary after Clarence F. Wyckoff, one of the members of the Peary Arctic Club in New York. This headland was marked on Robert Peary's map of the eastern coast of North Greenland as guesswork, based on sighting of two headlands from Wyckoff Land, for the visibility was marred by fog.Spencer Apollonio, ''Lands That Hold One Spellbound: A Story of East Greenland,'' 2008 p. 101 Cape Clarence Wyckoff was finally charted with accuracy by J.P. Koch during the 1906-07 Danmark Expe ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Wyckoff Land
Wyckoff Land is an area or peninsula in Peary Land, Northern Greenland. This geographic feature was named by Robert Peary after Clarence F. Wyckoff, one of the founding members of the Peary Arctic Club in New York. History When Robert Peary reached the area the weather was foggy and he assumed that the landform he stood upon was an island which he named "Clarence Wyckoff Island". He waited for two days for the fog to clear and then he returned. ''Pearys Vardenæs'' is a cairn built in 1900 by Peary before he returned towards the west. It stands in the outermost part of Wyckoff Land between Skaerbugt and Hellefisk Fjord. Two Independence I archaeological sites have been discovered on the headland. Geography Wyckoff Land lies in northern Herluf Trolle Land, by the northeastern shore of Peary Land, between G.B. Schley Fjord to the west and Hellefisk Fjord to the east. To the southwest the peninsula is attached to the mainland and to the northeast lies the Wandel Sea of the Arctic O ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Wyckoff-Garretson House
The Wyckoff-Garretson House is a historic house located at 215 South Middlebush Road, Somerset, New Jersey, which was built in 1730 by Cornelius Wyckoff.

Cornelius' portion was 1,200 acres (5 km2) which was divided for his four sons: John Wyckoff, Jacob Wyckoff, Peter Wyckoff, and Simon Wyckoff. John was the first of the sons to occupy the land, near Middlebush, New Jersey, sometime before 1711. In 1730, he built the first half of the house bringing in Dutch craftsmen from Brooklyn and using white oak. The house was later enlarged by Samuel Garretson from Hillsborough, New Jersey Hillsborough Town ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
