COURSE CONTENTS Activity 1 (for LO 1 and LO 2):

AND

You are to read page 5-9 of Introduction of Solid State Physics on Basis and Crystal Structure.

Each group will do the assigned readings and discuss among your group based on a list of questions, issues or statements given LEARNING below. Selected questions or issues will be presented/discuss in ACTIVITIES class.

1. Read the Brief Note: Crystal Structure 2. Read page 5 9 of C. Kittel 8th. Edition 3. Review the power point slides located at the class website (http://lms.upm.edu.my) 4. Pay attention to the following questions or issues for your discussion: a. How do crystal classes differ from each other? b. What is meant by primitive? c. Where is the position of basis in lattice?

Activity 2 (For LO 2 and LO 3) Each group will do the assigned readings and discuss among your group based on a list of questions, issues or statements given below. Selected questions or issues will be presented/discuss in class.

1. Read the Brief Note: Characteristics of Cubic Lattices 2. Review the power point slides located at the class website (http://lms.upm.edu.my) 3. Pay attention to the following questions or issues for your discussion/presentation: a. How to identify the characteristics of each cubic lattice? b. How to calculate the number of nearest neighbor? c. What is packing fraction means?
ASSESSMENT

Distinguish between primitive and non-primitive unit cell? Calculate the atomic packing factor for simple cubic, assuming the atom to be hard spheres.
