Orbitals 6hz5, 6hy5, 6s are shown here, the last one
represented only by its lower half, to evidence its 5 node
internal structure. Each orbital is represented as a cloud of points
above a probability density of 1E-6, 300,000 points for 6hz5, 6hy5
and 3,000,000 for 6s (to properly show the inner node). Users can choose
which octants of the orbital to show, allowing a detailed analysis
of its internal structure.

The five 3d orbitals are shown here with the same
orientation, inside a xyz frame, in orthographic projection.
Each orbital is represented as a cloud of 150,000 points above
a probability density of 1E-6. 3dz2 and 3dx2-y2
are ligned with the xyz axes, while 3dxy, 3dxz, 3dyz are
aligned along the xyz bisectors.

Octahedral interstices are smaller in BCC (r/R = 0.155) than in FCC
(r/R = 0.414) structures. However the corresponding octahedra are larger
in BCC (V = 4.1 Angstron**3) than in CFC (V = 3.8 Angstron**3) structures!
