PART A. DEFINITIONS/NOMENCLATURE: PLEASE WRITE YOUR ANSWER IN THE RIGHT-HAND COLUMN - (20 POINTS, 2 EACH) 1. A dislocation whose Burgers vector is perpendicular to its tangent vector is a(n) ____________________ dislocation. 2. The expression that describes the vacancy concentration in a crystal as a function of temperature is an __________________ - type equation. 3. Electron sharing is the dominant feature of a(n) ____________ bond. 4. A(n) ________________________ is an electrically neutral cation/anion vacancy cluster that forms in an ionic solid. 5. Precipitates are _________________ defects. 6. A(n) _______________________________ is an indefinitely extended arrangement of points each of which is surrounded by an identical grouping of neighboring points. 7. Strain hardening results from an increase in dislocation _______________ . 8. When properties of a material are independent of direction, the material is said to be ___________________________. 9.

PART B. CIRCLE THE APPROPRIATE ANSWER - (16 POINTS - 2 EACH) 1. A crystal structure with an ABCABC stacking sequence is face centered cubic (FCC) / hexagonal close-packed (HCP). 2. Going left to right on the periodic table, electronegativity decreases / increases. 3. Dislocation motion is associated with elastic / plastic strain. 4. The free energy, G, of a crystal is typically decreased / increased by the formation of vacancies. 5. Covalent bonding typically produces octahedral / tetrahedral coordination. 6. As the radius ratio (r/R) increases, the coordination number tends to decrease / increase. 7. Ionically bonded solids tend to be brittle / ductile. 8. Ficks First / Second Law assumes that the concentration gradient is independent of time.
