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 ...
This single layer is the precursor of the body centered cubic (BCC) unit cell. The lattice points are in the same general form as the simple cubic (SC) unit cell, with the exception that the atoms are ...
The resulting diamond has a hexagonal lattice crystal structure, rather than the normal cubic structure. Hexagonal diamond ...
In this note, I should like first to show that the mechanism proposed by Frohlich cannot be maintained and then to direct attention to an entirely different interpretation of this strange phenomenon.
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
