  2. Cubic crystal system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cubic_crystal_system

    This structure is often confused for a body-centered cubic structure because the arrangement of atoms is the same. However, the caesium chloride structure has a basis composed of two different atomic species. In a body-centered cubic structure, there would be translational symmetry along the [111] direction.

  3. Allotropes of iron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allotropes_of_iron

    BCC is body centered cubic and FCC is face-centered cubic. Iron-carbon eutectic phase diagram, showing various forms of Fe x C y substances. Iron allotropes, showing the differences in structure. The alpha iron (α-Fe) is a body-centered cubic (BCC) and the gamma iron (γ-Fe) is a face-centered cubic (FCC).

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coordination_number

    α-Aluminium has a regular cubic close packed structure, fcc, where each aluminium atom has 12 nearest neighbors, 6 in the same plane and 3 above and below and the coordination polyhedron is a cuboctahedron. α-Iron has a body centered cubic structure where each iron atom has 8 nearest neighbors situated at the corners of a cube.

  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. 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.

  7. Coordination geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coordination_geometry

    In metals with the body centred cubic (bcc) structure each atom has eight nearest neighbours in a cubic geometry. In metals with the face centred cubic (fcc) structure each atom has twelve nearest neighbours in a cuboctahedral geometry.

  9. Wigner–Seitz cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wigner–Seitz_cell

    The Wigner–Seitz cell of the face-centered cubic lattice is a rhombic dodecahedron. [9] In mathematics, it is known as the rhombic dodecahedral honeycomb . The Wigner–Seitz cell of the body-centered tetragonal lattice that has lattice constants with c / a > 2 {\displaystyle c/a>{\sqrt {2}}} is the elongated dodecahedron .
