Hi All-

 

This will certainly sound weird, but does anyone have any ideas for a visual demonstration of the Jahn-Teller Effect?  Full disclosure- there will be a film crew visiting us here at Geo Washington where they are doing a documentary on Teller.  Fun fact: Jahn-Teller effect got published while Teller was at GW!  I was thus hoping to be able to do a demo of sorts to highlight this.  If all else fails, I'll set up a Geiger counter and make the needle move....

 

Thanks

Chris
