Q

What must be true about the timing of two waves for x ray diffraction to work?

A

The waves enter the material at the same time and must emerge in phase. The only way the waves are in phase is if the extra distance of the 2nd wave is a multiple of the wavelength.

A unit cell is fully defined by six parameters. The three edges a, B, C and the three internal angles, alpha, beta gamma. These are called lattice parameters

52
Q

A

The seven different possible combinations of a, B, and C and alpha, beta, and gamma, which represents distinct crystal systems

53
Q

What are the crystal systems?

A

There are seven crystal systems. Cubic, tetragonal, hexagonal, orthodontic, rhombohedral, monoclinic, and triclinic.

54
Q

Miller indices

A

In all, but the hexagonal crystal system, crystal graphic planes are specified by three Miller indices each, K, L any two planes, parallel to each other are equivalent and have identical indices the procedure to determine the HK and L in the numbers is as follows.
One if the plane passes through the origin, another parallel plane must be constructed within the unit cell by an appropriate translation or a new origin must be established at the corner of another unit unit cell.
Two the crystal graphic plane, either intersects or parallels each of the three axis coordinates for the intersections of the crystal graphic planes with each of these axis is determined their considered a, b, c respect to x, y, z
Three the reciprocals of these numbers are taken the planes that are parallel of an axis are considered to have infinite intercepts, and therefore a zero index
Reciprocals of the intercepts are normalized by their lattice parameters
If necessary, these three numbers are changed to the set of small integers by multiplication or division by common factor
Six finally, the integer indices, not separated by commas are enclosed within parentheses .

55
Q

Miller Bravis system for hexagonal crystals

A

This convention leads to four index HKIL. I =-(h+k). Otherwise the indexing systems are identical.

56

59
Q

A crystalline defect

A

Refers to a lot of irregularity, having one or more of its dimensions on the order of an atomic diameter

60
Q

Vacancy

A

The simplest type of point defect is a vacancy or vacant lattice site one normally occupied, but from which an atom is missing. All crystalline solids contain vacancies and in fact it’s not possible to create session material that is free of these.

61
Q

Equilibrium number of vacancies

A

Nv = N exp(-Q/kT)
N= number of atomic sites
Q the energy required for the formation of vacancy
T the absolute temperature in kelvins
k the Boltzman constant which is 1.3×10 to the -23 J per Atom times Kelvin

62
Q

Self interstitial

A

A self interstitial is an atom from the crystal that is crowded into an interstitial site. A small void space that under ordinary circumstances is not occupied. Metals a self interstitial introduces relatively large distortion in the surrounding lattice because the atom is substantially larger than the interstitial position in which it is situated consequently, the formation of the defect is not highly probable, and it exists in very small concentrations that are significantly lower than For vacancies.

63
Q

Alloy

A

Most familiar metals are not highly pure, rather their allies in which impurity atoms have been added, intentionally to impart specific characteristics on the material. Ordinarily alloying is used in metals to improve mechanical strength and corrosion resistance for example sterling silver is 93% silver and 7% copper.

64
Q

Solid solution

A

The addition of impurity atoms to a metal result in the formation of a solid solution and or a new second phase. Depending on the kind of impurity their concentrations and the temperature of the alloy

65
Q

Solute solvent

A

Solvent is the element or compound that is present in greatest amount or on occasion solvent atoms are called host atoms. Salute is used to denote an element or compound present in a minor concentration.

66
Q

Substitutional and interstitial

A

Impurity point defects are found in solid solutions of which there are two types of substitutional and interstitial for the substitutional type salute, or impurity atoms, replace or substitute for host. Adams several features of the salute and solvent Adams determine the degree to wish the former dissolves in the latter, these are expressed as four Hume Rothary rules:
1) atomic size factor must be within 15%
2) crystal structure must be the same
3) electronegativity factor the more electropositive one element and the more electron negative the other the greater the likelihood they will form an inter metallic compound and instead of a substitutional solution
4) valances metals have more tendency to dissolve other metals of higher valance than to dissolve one with lower valance

67
Q

Edge dislocation

A

A linear defect that centers on the line that is defined along the edge of the extra half plain of atoms

68
Q

Dislocation line

A

Which, for the edge dislocation is perpendicular to the plane of the page some localized loud distortion the atoms above the dislocation line are squeeze together, and those below are pulled apart

69
Q

Screw dislocation

A

Thought of as being formed by sheer stress that is applied to produce the distortion where the upper region of the crystal is shifted one atomic distance to the right relative to the bottom portion, also linear along the dislocation line

70
Q

Mixed dislocations

A

Most dislocations in materials are probably neither pure edge nor pure screw but exhibit components of both

71
Q

Burgers vector

A

For an edge, they are perpendicular. whereas screws, they are parallel. They are neither perpendicular nor parallel for mixed dislocation, metallic materials. The burgers vector is a dislocation point in a close packed crystal graphic direction and it’s magnitude is equal to the interatomic spacing.

72
Q

Micro structure

A

Include things such as grain size and shape and other micro structural characteristics

73
Q

Microscopy

A

Investigations of micro, structural features of all materials some of these techniques employ photographic equipment and conjunction with microscopes

74
Q

Grain size

A

Is often determined when the properties of polycrystalline and single phase materials are under consideration. In this regard, it is important to realize that for each material, the constituent grains have a variety of shapes and distribution of sizes. Green size may be specified in terms of average or mean, green diameter, and a number of techniques have been developed to measure this perimeter.

75
Q

78
Q

Vacancy diffusion

A

The interchange of an atom from a normal normal, let us position to an adjacent vacant, lattice, site or vacancy

79
Q

How to compute magnification from a scale bar.

A

One. Measure the length of the scale bar in millimeters using a ruler. Two. Convert the length into microns i.e. multiply the value and step one by 1000 because there are 1000 µm in a millimeter. Three. Magnification M is equal to the measure to scale length converted into microns divided by the number appearing by the scale bar in microns.
