Metallic Bonding-random movements of electron, electron cloud-high electrical conductivity

Crystal Systems

• Most solids are crystalline with their atoms arranged in aregular manner.• Long-range order : the regularity can extend throughout thecrystal.• Short-range order : the regularity does not persist overappreciable distances. eg. amorphous materials such as glassand wax.• Liquids have short-range order, but lack long-range order.• Gases lack both long-range and short-range order

• Most engineering materials are polycrystals.

Face-Centered Cubic Nanoparticles

• Figure (a) shows the 12 neighbors that surround an atom(darkened circle) located in the center of a cube for a FCC lattice.• Figure (b) presents another perspective of the 12 nearest neighbors.These 13 atoms constitute the smallest theoretical nanoparticle for anFCC lattice.• Figure (c) shows the 14-sided polyhedron, called adekatessarahedron, that is generated by connecting the atoms with

planer faces

45Materials Science

If another layer of 42 atoms is layed around the 13-atom nanoparticle, one obtains a 55-atom nanoparticle with the same dekatessarahedron shape.

Lager nanoparticles with the same polyhedral shape are obtained by adding more layers, and thesequence of numbers in the resulting particles, N

N=1, 13, 55, 147,.., which are called structural magic numbers.

46Materials Science

Atoms in nano clusters

• For n layers, the number of atoms N and the number of atoms on the surface Nsurf in this FCC nanoparticle is given by the formula,

N = 1/3(10 n3 −15 n2 +11 n −3)

Nsurf =10n2 − 20n +12

47Materials Science

Atomic packing• In two dimensions the most efficient way to pack identical circles is equilateral triangle

arrangement shown in figure (a).

• A second hexagonal layer of spheres can be placed on top of the first to form the most efficient packing of two layers, as shown in figure (b).

• For efficient packing, the third layer can be placed either above the first layer with an atom at the location indicated by T or in the third possible arrangement with an atom above the position marked by X on the figure.

• In the first case a hexagonal lattice with a hexagonal close packed (HCP) structure is generated, and in the second case a face-centered cubic lattice results.

48Materials Science

Voids

X on figure is called an octahedral site

The radius(aoct) of octahedral site is = 0.41421ao

where ao is the radius of the spheres.

There are also smaller sites, called tetrahedral sites, labeled T

This is a smaller site since its radius aT= 0.2247ao

Lattice directions- MI

The direction of any line in a lattice

may be described by first drawing a line through the origin parallel

to the given line and then giving the coordinates of any point on the line

through the origin.

Plane designation by Miller indices

-Miller indices are always cleared of fractions

- If a plane is parallel to a given axis, its fractional intercept on that

axis is taken as infinity, Miller index is zero

- If a plane cuts a negative axis, the corresponding index is negative and is written with a bar over it.

-Planes whose indices are the negatives of one another are parallel and lie on opposite sides of the origin, e.g., (210) and (-2ī0).

-- Planes belonging to the same family is denoted by curly bracket , {hkl}

Principles of Alloy Formation :

primary and intermediate phases,their formation, solid solutions,Hume Rothery rule

Definition of Phase:• A phase is a region of material that is chemically

uniform, physically distinct, and (often) mechanically separable.

• A phase is a physically separable part of the system with distinct physical and chemical properties. System - A system is that part of the universe which is under consideration.

• In a system consisting of ice and water in a glass jar, the ice cubes are one phase, the water is a second phase, and the humid air over the water is a third phase. The glass of the jar is another separate phase.

115Materials Science

Gibbs' phase rule proposed by Josiah Willard Gibbs The phase rule is an expression of the number of variablesin equation(s) that can be used to describe a system in equilibrium.

Degrees of freedom, F

F = C − P + 2 F = C − P + 2

Where, P is the number of phases in thermodynamic equilibrium with each other C is the number of components


Phase rule at constant pressure Phase rule at constant pressure

• Condensed systems have no gas phase. When their properties are insensitive to the (small) changes in pressure, which results in the phase rule at constant pressure as,

F = C − P + 1

The Lever RuleFinding the amounts of phases in a two phase region:1. Locate composition and temperature in diagram2. In two phase region draw the tie line or isotherm3. Fraction of a phase is determined by taking thelength of the tie line to the phase boundary for theother phase, and dividing by the total length of tielineThe lever rule is a mechanicalanalogy to the mass balancecalculation. The tie line in thetwo-phase region is analogous toa lever balanced on a fulcrum.

Formation of nano crystallites/ grains

Nuclei of the solid phase form and they grow to consume all the liquid at the solidus line. 13 atoms constitute to a theoretical nanoparticle for a FCC lattice having two layers. 55 and 147 atoms for 3 and 4 layer clusters. If the size of the crystallites are in the nanometer range, they are called nanocrystals/grains.

High temperature structure can be retained at lowertemperature by quenching.


Single crystal

A single crystal solid is a material in which the crystal lattice of the entire sample is continuous

no grain boundaries- grain boundaries can have significant effects on the physical and electrical properties of a material

single crystals are of interest to electric device applications
