Kittel "Introduction to Solid State Physics, Wiley 1976 R.J. Haüy, Paris 1784 Introduction to Material Science Callister Chapter 3 9 9 Definition of a Crystal •Characteristics: ‒ solid ‒ homogeneous ‒ anisotropic ‒ flat faces (sometimes) ‒ typical angles between these faces ‒ three-dimensional periodic array of atoms An ideal crystal is constructed by an infinite repetition in space of identical structural units. Callister Chapter 3 Introduction to Material Science 10 10 5 The Crystal Structures • Single crystals comprise an infinite array of ions, atoms, or molecules, known as a crystal lattice. • The lattice energy is dependent on the nature and degree of interactions between adjacent species. • The ions, molecules, or atoms tend to pack in an arrangement that minimizes the total free energy of the crystal lattice. • The overall shape or form of a crystal is known as the morphology. • A crystal is comprised of an infinite 3-D lattice of repeating units, of which the smallest building block is known as the asymmetric unit. Callister Chapter 3 Introduction to Material Science 11 11 The unit Cell unit cell → small repeat entity in a crystal structures for most crystal structures are parallelepipeds or prisms having three sets of parallel faces ‒ is chosen to represents the symmetry of the crystal structure ‒ is the basic structural unit or building block of the crystal structure ‒ defines the crystal structure by virtue of its geometry and the atom positions within Callister Chapter 3 Introduction to Material Science 12 12 6 Metallic Crystal Structures: Atomic Packing Dense atomic packing for crystal structures of metals. • Reasons for dense packing: - Bonds between metal atoms are nondirectional. - Nearest neighbor distances tend to be small in order to lower potential energy. - High degree of shielding (of ion cores) provided by free electron cloud. • Crystal structures for metals simpler than structures for ceramics and polymers.

Callister Chapter 3 Introduction to Material Science 49 49 Interference of waves Δλ = nλ n = 0, 1, 2, ... When a number of waves of the same wavelength propagating in the same direction interfere with each other under continuous phase shift, only the coherent among them will be amplified. In total, the rest will almost completely cancel each other out. Callister Chapter 3 Introduction to Material Science 50 50 25 Bragg Equation Incident angle Bragg Equation: SQ = d sin reflected angle QT = d sin n = 2d sin This extra distance must be an integral (n) multiple of the wavelength () for the phases of the two beams to be the same.

Sample with a poor particle statistics → random „errors“ Introduction to Material Science Callister Chapter 3 57 57 X-ray Diffraction: Application Identification of crystal structures: Example: SiO2 compound Reference spectra amorphous Comparing with reference spectra, the crystalline part of the compound can be determined and quantified Callister Chapter 3 Introduction to Material Science 58 58 29 X-ray Diffraction Analysis Summarizing some fundamentals: • For electromagnetic radiation to be diffracted the spacing in the grating should be of the same order as the wavelength • In crystals the typical inter atomic spacing ~ 2-3 Å so the suitable radiation is X-rays • Hence, X-rays can be used for the study of crystal structures nλ = 2 d sin θ • Constructive interference only occurs for certain θ’s correlating to a (hkl) plane, specifically when the path difference is equal to n wavelengths. cubic Callister Chapter 3 Face Centred Cubic Body centred Orthorhombic Introduction to Material Science 59 59 X-ray diffractometry The structural properties of materials at different temperatures for different chemical compositions can be investigated by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) techniques → Comprehensive compositional and structural analysis Callister Chapter 3 Introduction to Material Science 60 60 30 Structural properties addressed by X-ray techniques SAXS / GISAXD XRD / HRXRD Phases Nano-particle Size Distribution Crystallite Size Texture Orientation Mosaicity Domain ordering 3D molecular structures for new materials Layer thickness Stress / Strain Density Defects Reflectivity (Interface) roughness Introduction to Material Science Callister Chapter 3 61 61 X-ray Analytics: Infrastructure BRUKER Linac-CT 3D-CT with 450 kV X-ray source and flat panel detector HRXRD / XRD XRD / HRXRD Tomography SC-XRD SC-XRD Center for X-Ray Analytics Image Analysis BRUKER SAXS XPCI Micro-CT Callister Chapter 3 SAXS / WAXS Introduction to Material Science XPCI 62 62 31 http://www.iupui.edu/~bbml/ Introduction to Material Science Callister Chapter 3 63 63 63 Summary • Atoms may assemble into crystalline (ordered) or amorphous (disordered) structures. • Common metallic crystal structures are FCC, BCC, and HCP. Coordination number and atomic packing factor are the same for both FCC and HCP crystal structures. • We can calculate the theoretical density of a metal, given its crystal structure, atomic weight, and unit cell lattice parameters. • Crystallographic points, directions and planes may be specified in terms of indexing schemes. • Atomic and planar densities are related to crystallographic directions and planes, respectively. Callister Chapter 3 Introduction to Material Science 64 64 32 Summary (continued) • Materials can exist as single crystals or polycrystalline. • For most single crystals, properties vary with crystallographic orientation (i.e., are anisotropic). • For polycrystalline materials having randomly oriented grains, properties are independent of crystallographic orientation (i.e., they are isotropic). • Some materials can have more than one crystal structure. This is referred to as polymorphism (or allotropy). • X-ray diffraction is used for crystal structure and interplanar spacing determinations.
