    Chap3.5 Linear and Planar Densities

    Uploaded by

    Sadeep Madhushan
    Linear and planar densities describe the density of atoms in one-dimensional and two-dimensional directions or planes in a crystal structure. Linear density is the fraction of a directional line that intersects with atom centers. Planar density is the fraction of total crystallographic plane area occupied by atoms. Expressions can be derived for the linear and planar densities of common crystal structures like body-centered cubic (BCC) and face-centered cubic (FCC) in terms of structural parameters like the atomic radius.

    Linear and Planar Atomic Densities

    Linear Density:
    Directional equivalency is related to the atomic linear density in the sense that equivalent directions have identical linear densities. The direction vector is positioned so as to pass through atom centers. The fraction of line length intersected by these atoms is equal to the linear density.

    Planar Density:
    Crystallographic planes that are equivalent have the same atomic planar density. The plane of interest is positioned so as to pass through atom centers. Planar density is the fraction of total crystallographic plane area that is occupied by atoms.

    Linear and planar densities are one- and two-dimensional analogs of the atomic packing factor.
