Review Seven crystal systems Fourteen Bravais lattices Cubic and Hexagonal systems:
90% of all metals have a cubic or hexagonal structure
Cubic system characteristics Unit cell a=b=c, = = =90˚ Face diagonal and body diagonal Number of atoms per unit cell Coordination number:number of nearest neighbor
atoms Close-packed structures Atomic Packing Factor (APF)
APF=(vol.of atoms in unit cell)/(vol. of unit cell) Atom positions, crystallographic directions and
crystallographic planes (Miller indices) Planar atomic density & linear atomic density
Some concepts
Number of atoms per unit cell Corner atom = 1/8 per unit cell Body centered atom = 1 Face centered atom = 1/2
Face diagonal=
Body diagonal= 3a
