Why do we care about crystal structures, directions, planes ?

Physical properties of materials depend on the geometry of crystals

ISSUES TO ADDRESS...

• How do atoms assemble into solid structures?

(for now, focus on metals) • How does the density of a material depend on its structure?

• When do material properties vary with the sample (i.e., part) orientation?

SIMPLE QUESTION:

If I see something has a macroscopic shape very regular and cubic, can I infer from that if I divide, divide, divide, divide, divide, if I get down to atomic dimensions, will there be some cubic repeat unit? 9

Chapter 3-

Unit Cell Concept

• The unit cell is the smallest structural unit or building block that uniquely can describe the crystal structure. Repetition of the unit cell generates the entire crystal. By simple translation, it defines a lattice .

• Lattice: The periodic arrangement of atoms in a Xtal.

b a

Lattice Parameter : Repeat distance in the unit cell, one for in each dimension Chapter 3-

Crystal Systems

a • Units cells and lattices in 3-D: – When translated in each lattice parameter direction, MUST fill 3-D space such that no gaps, empty spaces left.

b c Lattice Parameter : Repeat distance in the unit cell, one for in each dimension Chapter 3-

The Importance of the Unit Cell

• One can analyze the Xtal as a whole by investigating a representative volume.

• Ex: from unit cell we can – Find the distances between nearest atoms for calculations of the forces holding the lattice together – Look at the fraction of the unit cell volume filled by atoms and relate the density of solid to the atomic arrangement – The properties of the periodic Xtal lattice determine the allowed energies of electrons that participate in the conduction process.

POLYMORPHISM & ALLOTROPY

• Some materials may exist in more than one crystal structure, this is called

polymorphism

. • If the material is an elemental solid, it is called

allotropy

An example of allotropy is carbon, which can exist as diamond, graphite, and amorphous carbon.

Crystallographic Points, Directions, and Planes

CRYSTALS AS BUILDING BLOCKS

• Some engineering applications require single crystals: --diamond single crystals for abrasives (Courtesy Martin Deakins, GE Superabrasives, Worthington, OH. Used with permission.) --turbine blades Fig. 8.30(c), Callister 6e.

(Fig. 8.30(c) courtesy of Pratt and Whitney).

• Crystal properties reveal features of atomic structure.

--Ex: Certain crystal planes in quartz fracture more easily than others.

• Each "grain" is a single crystal.

• If crystals are randomly oriented, overall component properties are not directional.

• Crystal sizes typ. range from 1 nm to 2 cm (i.e., from a few to millions of atomic layers).

SINGLE VS POLYCRYSTALS

• Single Crystals -Properties vary with direction: anisotropic .

-Example: the modulus of elasticity (E) in BCC iron: Data from Table 3.3, Callister 6e.

(Source of data is R.W. Hertzberg, Deformation and Fracture Mechanics of Engineering Materials, 3rd ed., John Wiley and Sons, 1989.) • Polycrystals -Properties may/may not vary with direction.

-If grains are randomly oriented: isotropic .

(E poly iron = 210 GPa) -If grains are textured , anisotropic.

Anisotropy and Texture

• Different directions in a crystal have a different APF .

• For example, the deformation amount depends on the direction in which a stress is applied, other properties are thermal conductivity, optical properties, magnetic properties, hardness, etc.

• In some polycrystalline materials, grain orientations are random, hence bulk material properties are isotropic, i.e. equivalent in each direction • Some polycrystalline materials have grains with preferred orientations (texture) , so properties are dominated by those relevant to the texture orientation and the material exhibits anisotropic properties.
