Q

Why do Metallic Crystal Structures have dense packing?

A

metallic bonding is not directional, the nearest neighbor distance tends to be small in order to lower bond energy, and typically since only one element is present, all atomic radii are the same

They have simple structures

Q

What is SC and describe it

A

Simple Cubic, arrangement of hard spheres in each (8) corner.

each corner of the unit cell is defined by a lattice point at which an atom can be found in the crystal

Q

What’s the APF of a BCC structure?

A

radius is 4r because you have 1/8 circles in corners and an atom in center with radius of that circle, so diameter of 2. from one corner to the other, it’s 4r. r = (sqrt(3)/4) * a

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ceOOxa1A6-A

of atoms: (one atom with all 8 components in each corner and another in the center)

APF = 2 * 4/3 pi (sqrt(3)a/4)^3 / a^3

0.68

21
Q

What is FCC?

A

Faced-Centered Cubic structure

1/8 sphere in each corner, half a sphere on each face of the cube cell

22
Q

How many lattice points in a FCC structure?

A

14 identical points.

23
Q

What elements have the FCC structure?

A

Cu, Al, Ag, Au

24
Q

Whats the APF of FCC structure?

A

on one face, its diagonal = sqrt(2)a = 4r

r = sqrt(2) / 4

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ceOOxa1A6-A

4 atoms per unit cell

APF = 4 * 4/3 pi (sqrt(2)a / 4)^3 / a^3

0.74

25
Q

What is HCP?

A

Hexagonal closed-packed structure

6 atoms form the regular hexagon, they surround 3 inside, 1 on top and bottom, and 2 on the corners (top and bottom)

26
Q

What crystals commonly have HCP?

A

metallic crystals, Cd, Mg, Zn, Ti

27
Q

Whats APF of HCP structure?

A

C is the length radius, a is length of a side of the hexagon,

Ideal ratio of two lattice parameters a, and c: c/a = 1.633

0.74 (same as FCC)

28
Q

How are FCC and HCP crystal structures made

A

may be generated by stacking of close-packed planes

29
Q

Look at infographic of all crystalline structures

30
Q

What is a coordination number?

A

the number of nearest neighbors (of lattice points)

https://www.chemistrylearner.com/coordination-number.html

31
Q

What are the coordination numbers of BCC FCC and HCP?

A

Body-centered cubic has 8

Face-centered cubic has 12

Hexagonal close-packed has 12

32
Q

How to find the theoretical density of Crystalline Materials

A

density (p) = n A / V_c N_a

n = atoms per unit cell

A = atomic weight (g/mol)

V_c = volume per unit cell (cm^3/unit cell)

N_a = Avogadro’s number (6.023 x 10^23 atoms/mol)

33
Q

how to write point coordinates

A

Px = qa
Py = rb
Pz = sc

34
Q

How does the packing of atoms in FCC and HCP look like?

A

HCP: ABABAB

FFC: ABCABCABC

A biggest, then B then c

A inbetween b and c

closed packed planes: FCC(111) planes ABC and HCP(0001) planes AB have APF of 0.74

35

A
37
Q

What is Linear density? Planar density?

A

LD = # atoms centered on direction vector /
length of direction vector

PD = # atoms centered on a plane / A of plane

38
Q

bueno pues. estoy cansada. puta madre quiero dormirrrrrrrrrrrrrRRRRRRRRRRR

bueno bUeNO

many crystalline grains, not aligned with each other

41

A

the grain boundary

42

Anisotropy what izzz

A

the directionality of properties. refers to the varience of atomic spacing with crystallographic direction.

like triclinic structures, highly anisotropic

43

A

substances where the measured properties are independent of direction of measurement

44
Q

A

different packing.

46
Q

KNOW HOW TO DO XRAY DIFFRACTION CRYSTALLINE IDETIFICATION AND STRUCTURE ANALYSIS

A
47
Q

How are x-ray beams used in material science

A

its shot towards an object, some of it will be absorbed, transmitted and scattered

the scattering pattern gives us info on electron density distribution and therefore position of atoms

48
Q

wide angle vs small angle x-ray scattering

A

wide angle: study small-scale structure (<1nm)

small angle: study large-scale feature (1-100nm)
