Crystal structure of silicon, carbon and germanium

The crystallization of silicon, carbon (in the modification diamond) and germanium is treated at this video. The procedure of hybridization of orbitals leads to the formation of face-centered cubic crystal structures.
Computer animations using the ball-and-stick model as well as the calotte model (also called space filling model) demonstrate the construction of the crystal lattice.
