?Ⅰ.Crystal structure is the real
arrangement of atom in crystals
Crystal structure = Space lattice + Basis
or structure unit

alkali metals
? n = 2 atoms/cell
? CN=8
? The number of nearest neighbours around
each atom is called —— Coordination Number.
?Ⅱ.Typical crystal structures of metals
? Packing fraction

To determineξ,The atom is looked as a hard
sphere,and the nearest neighbours touch each
other.
∴ For BCC,68.0

§ 2.4 Interstices in typical
crystals of metals
?Ⅰ.Two types of Interstitials in
typical crystals
Octahedral interstitial
Tetrahedral interstitial
Definition:
In any of the crystal structures,there are
small holes between the usual atoms into
which smaller atoms may be placed,These
locations are called interstitial sites.

?Ⅱ.Determination of the sizes of
interstitials
Definition:
By size of an interstitial we mean diameter of
the maximum hard sphere which can be
accommodated in the interstitial without distorting
the lattice.

Examples and Discussions
1,Both FCC and BCC are close-packed
structures while BCC is more open?
2,The interstitial atoms most likely occupy the
oct,interstitial position in FCC and HCP,while
in BCC two types of interstitial can be occupied
equally.
3,The solid solubility in BCC is much lower than
in FCC.
4,Diffusion of interstitial atoms in BCC diffusion is
much faster than in FCC or HCP at same
temperature.
5,Determine the relationship between the atomic
radius and the lattice parameter in SC,BCC,
and FCC structures when one atom is located
at each lattice point.
6,Determine the density of BCC iron,which has
a lattice parameter of 0.2866nm.
Solution:
For a BCC cell,Atoms/cell = 2
a0 = 0.2866nm = 2.866× 10- 8cm
Atomic mass = 55.847g/mol
Volume of unit cell = a03 = 23.54× 10 - 24cm3/cell
