The face centered cubic (FCC) unit cell begins with a totally different layer, one that is packed much more efficiently. This figure shows the basic layer that will be repeated throughout the entire ...

The transition that determines the micro-structure of the alloy is a solid-state process: Austenite <-> Ferrite + Cementite Austenite is stable above 727 C and is an interstitial solid solution of ...

The resulting diamond has a hexagonal lattice crystal structure, rather than the normal cubic structure. Hexagonal diamond (or lonsdaleite) was first brought to the attention of scientists more ...

Silicon has the diamond cubic crystal structure with a lattice parameter of 0.543 nm. The nearest neighbor distance is 0.235 nm. The diamond cubic crystal structure has an fcc lattice with a basis of ...

These results suggest that similar reactions between helium and iron may have occurred within Earth’s core shortly after its formation, trapping much of the primordial helium-3 in the material that ...

Explicit evidence of the need for a magnetic consideration of the cubic PM phase of CrN can be obtained from the lattice parameter calculations. The measured room-temperature lattice spacing at ...
