GROUP: Face Centered Cubic Due Date: 1100 HRS on 09th AUGUST 2019

ASSIGNMENT 1
1. (a) Draw a 2 dimensional lattice using translation vectors R = uT1 + vT2,
where T1 = 1i and T2 =1j and u, v are integers; consider only values from
-3 to +3 for both of these integers for drawing the lattice. Here, i and j are
the unit vectors along the x and y axis, respectively. (b) Using above
translational vectors draw a primitive unit cell and calculate its area.

2. Explain why there is no end centered cubic space lattice in the list of 14
Bravais lattices.

3. It’s your mother’s birthday and you are buying a gold ring as a birthday
present. The jeweller claims it to be a “perfectly crystalline gold”. Since
you have gone through a course on Materials Science & Engineering (ME
213), you know that real crystals are not perfect. You decide to prove
him/her wrong. Considering the energy of formation for a gold vacancy is
approximately ~1.00 eV
 You weigh the ring and discover that it is 1 gm. Given that gold
weighs 197 gm/mol, calculate the total number of atomic sites in this
ring.
 Calculate the total number of vacancies in the ring at 27°C by
assuming that ring is in thermal equilibrium with the environment.
4. Determine the Miller indices of a plane that makes intercepts of 4Å, 3Å
and 8Å on the co-ordinate axes of an orthorhombic lattice with the ratio
of the axial lengths as: a : b : c = 2 : 3 : 1
5. Determine the Miller indices of the plane that passes through three points
having the following coordinates:

(a) 0, 0, 1; 1, 0, 0; and 1/2, 1/2, 0


(b) 1/2, 0, 1; 1/2, 0, 0; and 0, 1, 0
(c) 1, 0, 0; 0, 1, 1/2; and 1, 1/2, 1/4
(d) 1, 0, 0; 0, 0, 1/4; and 1/2, 1, 0

6. In this figure, plane pqr intercepts the x, y and z axis as indicated. What
are the miller indices of this plane?

7. Explain why it is easy to plastically deform solids like metals with metallic
bonding and difficult to plastically deform ionically bonded solids like
NaCl; even though both type of bonds are non-directional in nature.

8. Sketch following planes with in a cubic unit cell


 (1-31)
 (-11-1)
 (1-2-2)
 (-12-3)
 (0-1-3)

9. What will be the ratio of vacancy concentration in copper quenched


drastically from 1000°C to that slowly cooled to 0°C. Given that ∆Hf for
Cu is 120 KJ/mole.

10. What are the miller indices of the line of intersection of a (-1-11) and
(-1-1-1) plane in a cubic crystal?
GROUP: Face Centered Cubic Due Date: 1100 HRS on 09th AUGUST 2019

11. Explain the difference between edge and screw dislocations with
illustrative diagrams.
12.Explain why point defects are considered as the equilibirium defects
while line defects as the non-equilibirium defects.
