Abstract
Structures of Metals and Ceramics
Goals
- Define basic terms and give examples of each:
- Lattice
- Basis Atoms (Decorations or Motifs)
- Crystal Structure
- Unit Cell
- Coordination Numbers
- Describe hard-sphere packing and identify cell symmetry
- Crystals density: the mass per volume (e.g. g/cm3)
- Linear Density: the number of atoms per unit length (e.g. cm-1)
- Planar Densities: the number of atoms per unit area (e.g. cm-2)
Learning Objective
- Know and utilize definitions to describe structure and defects in various solid phases (crystal structures)
- Compute densities for close-packed structures
- Identify Symmetry of Cells
- Specify directions and planes for crystals and be able to relate to characterization experiments
