Chapter 2 Flashcards
is a crystal that contains no point, line, or planar defects
perfect crystal
are defects that occur only at or around a single lattice point
point defects
are lines along which whole rows of atoms in a solid are arranged anomalously
line defects
is discontinuity of the perfect crystal structure across a plane
planar defects
occur where the crystallographic direction of the lattice abruptly changes.
grain boundaries
occur in ordered alloys in this case the crystallographic direction remains the same, but each side of the boundary has an opposite phase
atiphase boundaries
occur in a number of crystal structures, but the common example is close-packed structures
stacking fruits
a defect that introduces a plane symmetry in the ordering of a crystal
twin boundary
a state where there is no pattern or arrangements
no order
arrangement of the atom extends only on the atom’s nearest neighbors
short-range order
each water molecule in steam has short-range order due to the covalent bonds
steam water
are joined together in a random manner. it may share corners, edgess, or faces
tetrahedral structure in silica
orderliness repeated over infinitely great distances.
long range order
have a crystalline structure in which the atoms or ions display long range order
MASCS
metals, alloys, semiconductors, ceramics, and some polymers
material forms a regular repetitive, grid-like pattern, in three dimensions
crystalline materials
the crystal lattice of the entire sample is continuous and unbroken to the edges of the sample, with no grain boundaries
single crystal
small crystallites with different crystal orientations that are separated by grain boundaries
polycrystalline materials
any material that exhibits only a short-range order of atoms or ions
amorphous materials
are formed due to kinetics of the fabrication of the material
amorphous material
a collection of lattice points, which are arranged in a periodic pattern
