1. Chapter 3- CRYSTAL SYSTEMS General lattice that is in the shape of a parallelepiped or prism. a, b, and c are called lattice parameters. x, y, and z here are called material axes, and the coordinates described by them are termed “material coordinates”

2. Chapter 3- CRYSTAL SYSTEMS There are only seven possible types of crystal structures or unit cells which can fill 3D space if stacked together. For example, the cubic unit to the upper left can become a BCC or an FCC lattice.

3. Chapter 3- CRYSTALLOGRAPHIC POINTS, DIRECTIONS, and PLANES Example: determine point ¼ 1 ½ for the following lattice:

4. Chapter 3- CRYSTALLOGRAPHIC DIRECTIONS xyz Projectionsa/2b0c0c Projections (in terms of a, b, and c) 1/210 Reduction to nearest integer 120 Final result[120] Directions are free vectors, i.e. they can be moved around as long as parallelism is maintained.

5. Chapter 3- CRYSTALLOGRAPHIC DIRECTIONS A “family” of equivalent directions are enclosed in angle brackets. For example, stands for the [100], [-100],[010],[0-10],[001], and [00-1] directions. This is just a convenience.

6. Chapter 3- CRYSTALLOGRAPHIC DIRECTIONS for Hexagonal Crystals The directions utilize a four-axis, or Miller-Bravais, coordinate system, and not three axes like in cubic crystals c Basal plane

7. Chapter 3- CRYSTALLOGRAPHIC DIRECTIONS Exercise (in groups of two): Draw a sketch of the crystallographic directions [2 2 1], and [1 -1 1] for a cubic crystal, And [1 0 0 1] for a hexagonal crystal

8. Chapter 3- CRYSTALLOGRAPHIC PLANES Planes are described by Miller Indices, e.g. (hkl)

9. Chapter 3- CRYSTALLOGRAPHIC PLANES Planes are described by Miller Indices, e.g. (hkl) Example: If plane intersects the origin, then shift plane to another neighboring cell before determining its indices xyz Intercepts  a a -bc/2 Intercepts (in terms of a, b, and c)  1/2 Reciprocals02 Reductions (unnecessary) Final result(0-12)

10. Chapter 3- CRYSTALLOGRAPHIC PLANES Example: construct a (0-11) plane within a cubic unit cell Note that (0-11) plane is equivalent to (01-1) plane For convenience, a family of equivalent planes has indices enclosed in curly braces. For example, {111} stands for (111), (-1-1-1), (-111), (1-1-1), (1-11),(-11-1),(11-1), and (-1-11)

11. Chapter 3- CRYSTALLOGRAPHIC PLANES Exercise (in groups of two): Draw a sketch of the crystallographic planes (1 1 -1) and (120)

12. Chapter 3- CLOSE-PACKED CRYSTALLOGRAPHIC DIRECTIONS AND PLANES In FCC, the close-packed planes are the {111} planes, and the close-packed directions are the directions. In BCC, the close-packed planes are the {110} planes, and the close-packed directions are the In HCP, the close-packed planes are the (0001) basal plane, and the close-packed direction are the [1000], [0100], and [0010] directions and their negatives.

14. Chapter 3-18 Most engineering materials are polycrystals and NOT a single crystal. POLYCRYSTALS Each "grain" is a single crystal. If crystals are randomly oriented, overall component properties are not directional. Crystal sizes typ. range from 1 nm to 2 cm (i.e., from a few to millions of atomic layers).

20. Chapter 3- Atoms may assemble into crystalline or amorphous structures. We can predict the density of a material, provided we know the atomic weight, atomic radius, and crystal geometry (e.g., FCC, BCC, HCP). Material properties generally vary with single crystal orientation (i.e., they are anisotropic), but properties are generally non-directional (i.e., they are isotropic) in polycrystals with randomly oriented grains. 23 SUMMARY
