In 2D – 6 circles fit around one circle In 3D – 12 spheres fit around one sphere (3 above and 3 below) ABCABC… – cubic closest packing (ccp) ABABAB… – hexagonal closest packing (hcp) AAAA… – coordination number is 8 in 3D (6 + 1 + 1), so this packing structure is not close-packing. ccp = fcc (face-centered cubic) – must turn on diagonal to see the planes unit cell – smallest structural unit primitive or simple cubic ⅛(8) = 1 atom per unit cell 52% packing efficiency

Mg is hexagonal close-packed (hcp) and show some ductility. W has a body centered cubic packing structure and is brittle.

4. fcc structure has 4 sets of c. p. planes and are ductile and malleable (easy to slide). hcp structure has only one set of c. p. plane and are less malleable. Miller Indices – 3 numbers which define a lattice plane (hkl) For a cubic unit cell, the (100) set of planes cuts x at 1a, where a is the unit cell edge length, cuts y at ∞ (parallel), and cuts z at ∞ (parallel). Miller indices – reciprocal of where it cuts axes 1/1, 1/∞, 1/∞  (100) ½a, 1/∞, 1/∞  (200) _ Negative numbers are allowed. 1 (called one bar) indicates a negative number. Miller indices for planes – (hkl)for sets of equivalent planes such as (100), (010), and (001) – {hkl}for crystal faces/surfaces – {hkl} for growth direction – [hkl]For equivalent sets of directions, e.g. cubic [100], [010] etc., can write the general symbol.

Area Density of Gold Atoms on Different Planes The area density of gold atoms on the {111}, {100}, and {110} planes of gold are obtained by using the smallest 2-dimensional repeating areas as the unit cells.

Knowing the particle size, one can calculate the total surface atoms on a particle.

25. Radius Ratio Rule Consider minimum size of Oh hole. Want r M /r x ratio. (2r x ) 2 + (2r x ) 2 = (2r x + 2r M ) 2 cos 45 º = 2r x /(2r x + 2r M ) = 1/√2 face diagonal = √2r body diagonal = √3r  r 2 + (√2r) 2 = (body diagonal) 2 2r x + 2r M = 2√2r x 2r M = (2√2 – 2)r x r M = (√2 – 1)r x r M /r x = 0.414 minimum size of a Oh hole. If the ratio is larger than this number, the cations would be in Oh holes. What is the minimum size of a cubic hole? body diagonal = 2(r x + r M ) = √3r, where r = cell edge = 2r x 2(r x + r M ) = 2√3r x r M = (√3 – 1)r x r M /r x = √3 – 1 = 0.732 r
