Lecture 5 Flashcards
In a simple cubic, where are the atoms touching? a = ?
along the cube’s edges
a = 2r
in a BCC, where are the atoms touching? a = ?
along the body diagonal
a = 4/sqrt(3) * r
in FCC, where are the atoms touching? a = ?
the face diagonals
a = 2sqrt(2) * r
in HCP, where are the atoms touching? a = ?
a = 2r
how do small and large atoms stack together?
small atoms fit in the interstices (voids) between larger atoms
What is the tetrahedral stie
interstitial atom fills tetra site (CN = 4)
what is an octahedral site
CN = 6
What are the options for interstitial structures for CCP/FCC
- tetrahedral site
- octahedral site
what are the options for interstitial structures for SC
cubic site

can there be interstitial sites in a SH?
no
can there be interstitial sites in a HCP?
- tetrahedral sites
- octahedral sites
how do you express the radii of atoms that can fit into interstices
radius ratio rx/rA, where X= interstitial atom and A = larger atom
