3. The drawings in the figures below show patterns of points distributed in orthorhombic shaped unit cells. Identify to which, if any, of the orthorhombic structure Bravais lattice, P, C, I or F each pattern of points corresponds. (Hint: it is helpful to sketch plans of several unit cells, which will show more clearly the patterns of points, and then to outline (if possible) a P, C, I, or F unit cell)

a) Is orthorhombic C b) It is not a Bravais lattice because the points do not all have an identical environment c) Is orthorhombic P (two primitive cells are drawn together)

4. The unit cell of several orthorhombic structures is described below. Draw planes of each and identify the Bravaice lattice, P, C, I or F a) One atom per unit cell located at (x, y, z) b) Two atoms per unit cell of the same type located at (0, , 0) and (1/2, 0, ) c) Two atoms per unit cell, one type located at (0, 0, z) and ( , , z) and the other type at (00(1/2+z)) and (1/2 (1/2+z)) (hint: draw planes of several unit cells and relocate the origin of the axes, x, y, z should be taken as small (non-integral) fractions of the cell edge length)

a) Is orthorhombic P (relocate the origin at xyz) b) Is orthorhombic I (relocate the origin at 0, , 0

c) Is orthorhombic C(relocate the origin at 00z; the motif is two atoms, one of each type)

5. A metal is found to have BCC structure, a lattice constant of 3.31 and a density of 16.6 g/cm . Determine the atomic weight of this element.

For BCC structure Z=2 V = a3=36.26 3. FW Z 1.66 ( g / cm 3 ) V D V Fw = = 181.3 ( g / mol ) 1.66 2 D=

6. Determine the first and second nearest neighbor distance for Ni (FCC structure) at 100C if its density at that temperature is 8.83 g/cm .

For a FCC structure Z = 4. The first neighbor is on the face diagonal at a distance a2/2 while the second nearest distance is on the cube corner at distance a (cube edge) FwNi=58.7g FW Z 1.66 ( g / cm 3 ) V 4 1.66 58.7 V = = 44.14 A a = 3.53 A 8.83 D=

The first nearest neighbors of Ni is at 2.5 while the second nearest neighbor is at 3.53 .

7. Calculate the volume change (in %) that will occur if (for some reason) a material transforms from BCC to FCC. (Assume hard sphere behavior.)

For BCC: Z=2 and the atoms are touching on the cube diagonal a3/2 = 2r a = 4r/3 VBCC= (4r/3)3/2 = 6.16r3 For FCC: Z=4 and the atoms are touching on the face diagonal a2/2 = 2r a = 4r/2 VFCC= (4r/2)3/4 = 5.65r3 The volume change: (VBCC VFCC)/VBCC x100 = 9% 8. a) In how many ways can (mathematical) points be arranged in two (2) dimensions so that every point has identical surroundings? (One possible arrangement is the square distribution of points; if you imagine that this distribution continues to infinity, them every point has neighbors at the same angle) (b) Sketch the possible arrangements (no more than 20 points each).

a = b, = 90

a b, = 90

a b, 90

a = b, 90

a = b, = 60
