The Space Lattice and Unit Cells

CRYSTAL STRUCTURE - Atoms, arranged in repetitive 3Dimensional pattern, in long range order (LRO) .

Properties of solids depends upon crystal structure


and bonding force.

SPACE LATTICE - An imaginary network of lines, with


atoms at intersection of lines, representing the
arrangement of atoms.

Space Lattice

Unit cell is that block of


atoms which repeats itself
to form space lattice.

Materials arranged in short

Crystal Systems and Bravais Lattice

3-3

Only 7 different types of unit cells (i.e. cubic,


tetragonal, orthorhombic, rombohedral, hexagonal,
monoclinic, triclinic) are necessary to create all point
lattices.

According to Bravais (1811-1863), 14 standard unit


cells can describe all possible lattice networks.

The 4 basic types of unit cells are:

Simple

Body Centered

Face Centered

METALLIC CRYSTALS
tend to be densely packed.
have several reasons for dense packing:

- typically, only one element is present, so all a


radii are the same.
- metallic bonding is not directional.
- nearest neighbor distances tend to be small in
order to lower bond energy.

We will look at three such structures...

Atom Positions in Cubic Unit Cells

Cartesian coordinate system is


used to locate atoms.
In a cubic unit cell

y axis is the direction to the


right.

x axis is the direction coming out


of the paper.

z axis is the direction towards


top.

Negative directions are to the


opposite of positive directions.

Atom positions are located using


unit distances along the axes.

Directions in Cubic Unit Cells

In cubic crystals, Direction Indices are vector


components of directions resolved along each axes,
resolved to smallest integers.

Direction indices are position coordinates of unit cell


where the direction vector emerges from cell
surface, converted to integers.

Procedure to Find Direction Indices


Produce the direction vector till it
emerges from surface of cubic cell

z
(1,1/2,1)

Determine the coordinates of point


of emergence and origin
Subtract coordinates of point of
Emergence by that of origin
Are all are
integers?
YES
Are any of the direction
vectors negative?

NO

YES
Represent the indices in a square
bracket without comas with a
over negative index (Eg: [121])
3-17

(1,1/2,1) - (0,0,0)
= (1,1/2,1)
y

(0,0,0)

2 x (1,1/2,1)
= (2,1,2)

The direction indices are [212]


Convert them to
smallest possible
integer by multiplying
by an integer.

NO
Represent the indices in a square
bracket without comas (Eg: [212] )

Direction Indices - Example

Determine direction indices of the given


vector.
Origin coordinates are (3/4 , 0 , 1/4).
Emergence coordinates are (1/4, 1/2, 1/2).

Subtracting origin coordinates


from emergence coordinates,
(1/4, 1/2, 1/2) - (3/4 , 0 , 1/4)
= (-1/2, 1/2, 1/4)
Multiply by 4 to convert all
fractions to integers
4 x (-1/2, 1/2, 1/4) = (-2, 2, 1)
Therefore, the direction indices are

planes of atoms.

They are reciprocals of the fractional intercepts

Four indices are used (hkil) called as Miller-Bravais

caller polymorphism or allotropy.

X-Rays.

of an element.
For Molybdenum K occurs at
wave length of about 0.07nm.
Electrons of n=1 shell of
target metal are knocked out
by bombarding electrons.
Electrons of higher level drop
down by releasing energy to
replace lost electrons

Amorphous Materials
Random spatial positions of atoms
Polymers: Secondary bonds do not allow
formation of parallel and tightly packed chains
during solidification.

Polymers can be semicrystalline.

Glass is a ceramic made up of SiO4 4tetrahedron subunits limited mobility.


Rapid cooling of metals (10 8 K/s) can give rise
to amorphous structure (metallic glass).
Metallic glass has superior metallic
properties.
