38
Simple cubic lattice description
atoms located in each corner
39
Body-centered cubic lattice description
atoms at each corner plus one in the center of the 6 faces
40
Face-centered cubic lattice description
atoms at each corner in the center of each of the 6 faces
41
Base-centered lattice description
rectangular with atoms at each corner and one in the center of the top and bottom faces
42
Simple hexagonal lattice description
8 faces
43
hexagonal close-packed lattice description
- a variation of SH - Ideally has 6 atoms per cell
44
How are directions, planes, and families of planes represented by vectors?
Directions: [] brackets; negative numbers represented by bar over the number planes: () brackets families of planes: {} brackets
45
How to calculate planes?
1. intercept position on axis 2. reciprocal of intercept 3. Reduce all fractions by multiplying all values until they are all whole numbers
46
How can angles between two directions be determined?
by taking the vector dot product A*B= |A||B|cos ⍬
47
Atomic packing factor equation
volume of atoms in the unit cell / volume of the unit cell = (# atoms in cell) *( volume of an atom)/ volume of the unit cell
48
What are intersticies?
the largest holes between the atoms in a lattice
49
Where are interstices in FCC Latticies? How many sites per cell?
- at the center of the unit cell and center of each edge - 4 sites per unit cell
50
Where are the interstices in BCC lattices? How many sites per cell?
- at the center of each face and the center of each edge - 6 sites per unit cell
51
How do waves undergo constructive interference/ diffraction?
- 2 waves of equal amplitude and are in phase collide - the amplitude of the composite wave is 2x that of the components, causing diffraction
52
What is destructive wave interference?
when the composite wave is equal to zero at all points
53
Bragg's Law equation? What does it describe?
2dsin⍬=nλ - when the x-ray is incident onto a crystal surface, its angle of incidence, θ, will reflect back with a same angle of scattering, θ
54
What is linear density?
the number of atoms centered along a direction within one unit cell/ length of the line contained within one unit cell
55
What is planar density?
the number of atoms centered on a plane one cell/ are of the plan contained within one unit cell
56
CHAtomic packing factor definition
volume of atoms in the unit cell per unit volume
