  2. Atomic packing factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_packing_factor

    The atomic packing factor of a unit cell is relevant to the study of materials science, where it explains many properties of materials. For example, metals with a high atomic packing factor will have a higher "workability" (malleability or ductility ), similar to how a road is smoother when the stones are closer together, allowing metal atoms ...

  3. Cubic crystal system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cubic_crystal_system

    Accordingly, the primitive cubic structure, with especially low atomic packing factor, is rare in nature, but is found in polonium. [4] [5] The bcc and fcc, with their higher densities, are both quite common in nature. Examples of bcc include iron, chromium, tungsten, and niobium. Examples of fcc include aluminium, copper, gold and silver.

  4. Crystal structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_structure

    The atomic packing factor is the proportion of space filled by these spheres which can be worked out by calculating the total volume of the spheres and dividing by the volume of the cell as follows: A P F = N p a r t i c l e V p a r t i c l e V unit cell {\displaystyle \mathrm {APF} ={\frac {N_{\mathrm {particle} }V_{\mathrm {particle} }}{V ...

  5. Crystallography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystallography

    The fcc structure is a close-packed structure unlike the bcc structure; thus the volume of the iron decreases when this transformation occurs. Crystallography is useful in phase identification. When manufacturing or using a material, it is generally desirable to know what compounds and what phases are present in the material, as their ...

  6. Diamond cubic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diamond_cubic

    The atomic packing factor of the diamond cubic structure (the proportion of space that would be filled by spheres that are centered on the vertices of the structure and are as large as possible without overlapping) is , [3] significantly smaller (indicating a less dense structure) than the packing factors for the face-centered and body-centered ...

  7. Coordination number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coordination_number

    bcc structure Ions with coordination number six comprise the highly symmetrical "rock salt structure". For chemical compounds with regular lattices such as sodium chloride and caesium chloride, a count of the nearest neighbors gives a good picture of the environment of the ions.

    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).
