STRUCTURE OF SOLIDS
Can be classified under several criteria based on atomicarrangements, electrical properties, thermal properties,chemical bonds etc.
Using electrical criterion: Conductors, Insulators,
SemiconductorsUsing atomic arrangements: Amorphous,
Polycrystalline, Crystalline .

No regular long range order of arrangement in the atoms.Example: Polymers, cotton candy, common window glass,
ceramic.Can be prepared by rapidly cooling molten material.
Rapid minimizes time for atoms to pack into a morethermodynamically favorable crystalline state.

Atomic order present in sections (grains) of the solid.Different order of arrangement from grain to grain.
Grain sizes = hundreds of m.An aggregate of a large number of small crystals or
grains in which the structure is regular, but the crystals orgrains are arranged in a random fashion .

The Basis(or basis set)
The set of atoms which, when placed at eachlattice point, generates the Crystal Structure.
Crystal Structure Primitive Lattice + BasisTranslate the basis through all possible lattice vectors
T = n 1a 1 + n 2a 2 + n 3a 3

The periodic lattice symmetry is such that the atomic arrangement looks the same from an arbitrary
vector position r as when viewed from the pointr' = r + T (1)
where T is the translation vector for the lattice:
T = n 1a 1 + n 2a 2 + n 3a 3 Mathematically, the lattice & the vectors a 1,a 2,a 3 are
Primitive if any 2 points r & r' always satisfy (1) with asuitable choice of integers n 1,n 2,n 3.

Consider a 2-dimensional lattice (figure). Let the 2 Dimensional Translation Vector
be R n = n 1a + n 2b (Sorry for the notation change!!)
a & b are 2 d Primitive Lattice Vectors , n 1, n 2 are integers .
2 Dimensional Lattice Translation Vectors
Once a & b are specified by thelattice geometry & an origin ischosen, all symmetrically equivalent points in the lattice are determined bythe translation vector R n. That is, the
lattice has translational symmetry .Note that the choice of Primitive
Lattice vectors is not unique! So,one could equally well take vectors a
& b' as primitive lattice vectors.
Point D(n 1, n 2) = (0,2)
Point F(n 1, n 2) = (0,-1)

Primitive Unit Cells Note that, by definition, the Primitive Unit Cell must
contain ONLY ONE lattice point. There can be different choices for the Primitive Lattice
Vectors , but the Primitive Cell volume must be independentof that choice.

Unit Cells Types
Primitive Face-Centered
Body-Centered End-Centered
A unit cell is the smallest component of the crystal that reproduces the whole crystalwhen stacked together.
Primitive (P) unit cells contain only a single lattice point . Internal (I) unit cell contains an atom in the body center . Face (F) unit cell contains atoms in the all faces of the planes composing the cell. Centered (C) unit cell contains atoms centered on the sides of the unit cell.
Combining 7 Crystal Classes (cubic, tetragonal, orthorhombic, hexagonal, monoclinic, triclinic,trigonal) with 4 unit cell types (P, I, F, C) symmetry allows for only 14 types of 3-D lattice.

Conventional Unit Cells A Conventional Unit Cell just fills space when
translated through a subset of Bravais lattice vectors. The conventional unit cell is larger than the primitivecell, but with the full symmetry of the Bravais lattice.
The size of the conventional cell is given by the lattice constant a .

This results in the fact that, in 3 dimensions, there are only 7 different shapes of unit cell which can be stacked together to completely fill all spacewithout overlapping . This gives the 7 crystal systems, in which all crystalstructures can be classified. These are:
The Cubic Crystal System (SC, BCC, FCC) The Hexagonal Crystal System (S) The Triclinic Crystal System (S) The Monoclinic Crystal System (S, Base-C) The Orthorhombic Crystal System (S, Base-C, BC, FC) The Tetragonal Crystal System (S, BC) The Trigonal (or Rhombohedral ) Crystal System (S)

For a Bravais Lattice,
The Coordinaton Number The number of lattice points closest to a given point
(the number of nearest-neighbors of each point).
Because of lattice periodicity, all points have the same number of nearest neighbors or coordination number . (That is, the coordination number is intrinsic to the lattice.)

The SC Lattice has one lattice point in its unit cell , so its
unit cell is a primitive cell. In the unit cell shown on the left, the atoms at the corners are cutbecause only a portion (in this case 1/8) belongs to that cell. Therest of the atom belongs to neighboring cells .
The Coordinatination Number of the SC Lattice = 6 .

The BCC Lattice has two lattice points
per unit cell so the BCC unit cell is anon-primitive cell. Every BCC lattice point has 8 nearest-
neighbors. So (in the hard sphere model) each atom is in contact with itsneighbors only along the body-diagonaldirections.
Many metals (Fe,Li,Na..etc), includingthe alkalis and several transitionelements have the BCC structure.

Miller index is used to describe directions and planes in acrystal.
Directions - written as [u v w] where u, v, w.Integers u, v, w represent coordinates of the vector in real
space.A family of directions which are equivalent due tosymmetry operations is written as
Planes: Written as ( h k l).
Integers h, k , and l represent the intercept of the plane with x-, y-, and z- axes, respectively.
Equivalent planes represented by {h k l}.

The intercepts of a crystal plane with the axis defined by a set of unit vectors are at 2a, -3b and 4c. Find the corresponding Millerindices of this and all other crystal planes parallel to this plane.
The Miller indices are obtained in the following three steps:1. Identify the intersections with the axis, namely 2, -3 and 4.2. Calculate the inverse of each of those intercepts, resulting in
1/2, -1/3 and 1/4.3. Find the smallest integers proportional to the inverse of the
intercepts. Multiplying each fraction with the product of each of the intercepts (24 = 2 x 3 x 4) does result in integers,
but not always the smallest integers.4. These are obtained in this case by multiplying each fraction
by 12.5. Resulting Miller indices is6. Negative index indicated by a bar on top .
