SF3063 Tutorial 1

This tutorial document provides 4 practice problems related to semiconductor physics and crystal structures for a university course. The problems calculate the packing fraction and atomic radius of a bcc lattice; label crystal plane directions in a figure; determine density and interplanar spacing values for silicon; and calculate and compare the density of NaCl to its measured value using ionic radii.

TUTORIAL 1

1. For a bcc lattice of indentical atoms with a lattice constant of 5Å,


calculate the maximum packing fraction and the radius of the atorms
treated as hard spheres with nearest neighbors touching.

2. (a) Label the planes illustrated in Fig. P1-3.

(b) Draw equivalent <111>, <100>, <110> directions in a cubic lattice;


use a unit cube
for illustrating each set of equivalent directions.

3. Calculate the volume density of Si atoms (number of atoms/cm³) given


that the lattice constant of Si is 5.43 Å. Calculate the areal density of atoms
(number/cm²) on the (110) plane. Calculate the distance between two
adjacent (111) planes in Si passing through nearest- neighbor atoms.

4. The ionic radii of Na+ (atomic weight 23) and C1¯ (atomic weight 35.5)
are 1.0 and 1.8 Å, respectively. Treating the ions as hard spheres, calculate
the density of NaC1. Compare this with the measured density of 2.17
g/cm³.
