  2. Crystal structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_structure

    For face-centered cubic (fcc) and body-centered cubic (bcc) lattices, the primitive lattice vectors are not orthogonal. However, in these cases the Miller indices are conventionally defined relative to the lattice vectors of the cubic supercell and hence are again simply the Cartesian directions .

  3. Cubic crystal system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cubic_crystal_system

    In the rock-salt structure, each of the two atom types forms a separate face-centered cubic lattice, with the two lattices interpenetrating so as to form a 3D checkerboard pattern. The rock-salt structure has octahedral coordination : Each atom's nearest neighbors consist of six atoms of the opposite type, positioned like the six vertices of a ...

  4. Atomic packing factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_packing_factor

    The primitive unit cell for the body-centered cubic crystal structure contains several fractions taken from nine atoms (if the particles in the crystal are atoms): one on each corner of the cube and one atom in the center. Because the volume of each of the eight corner atoms is shared between eight adjacent cells, each BCC cell contains the ...

  5. Periodic table (crystal structure) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periodic_table_(crystal...

    The Body centered cubic structure (BCC). It is not a close packed structure. In this each metal atom is at the centre of a cube with 8 nearest neighbors, however the 6 atoms at the centres of the adjacent cubes are only approximately 15% further away so the coordination number can therefore be considered to be 14 when these are on one 4 fold ...

  6. Miller index - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miller_index

    For face-centered cubic and body-centered cubic lattices, the primitive lattice vectors are not orthogonal. However, in these cases the Miller indices are conventionally defined relative to the lattice vectors of the cubic supercell and hence are again simply the Cartesian directions.

  7. Terrace ledge kink model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terrace_ledge_kink_model

    In chemistry, the terrace ledge kink (TLK) model, which is also referred to as the terrace step kink (TSK) model, describes the thermodynamics of crystal surface formation and transformation, as well as the energetics of surface defect formation. It is based upon the idea that the energy of an atom’s position on a crystal surface is ...

  8. Reciprocal lattice - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reciprocal_lattice

    The reciprocal lattice to an FCC lattice is the body-centered cubic (BCC) lattice, with a cube side of . Consider an FCC compound unit cell. Locate a primitive unit cell of the FCC; i.e., a unit cell with one lattice point. Now take one of the vertices of the primitive unit cell as the origin.

  9. Crystal system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_system

    The diamond crystal structure belongs to the face-centered cubic lattice, with a repeated two-atom pattern. In crystallography, a crystal system is a set of point groups (a group of geometric symmetries with at least one fixed point). A lattice system is a set of Bravais lattices (an infinite array of discrete points).
