Body Centered Cubic


Atoms are arranged at the corners of the cube with another atom at the cube center.

Body Centered Cubic


Since atoms are assumed to touch along the cube diagonal in BCC, the lattice parameter is related to atomic radius through:

Body Centered Cubic


Coordination number for BCC is 8. Each center atom is surrounded by the eight corner atoms. The lower coordination number also results in a slightly lower APF for BCC structures. BCC has an APF of 0.68, rather than 0.74 in FCC

Crystallographic Directions
Cubic systems
directions are named based upon the projection of a vector from the origin of the crystal to another point in the cell.

Conventionally, a right hand Cartesian coordinate system is used.


The chosen origin is arbitrary, but is always selected for the easiest solution to the problem.

Crystallographic Directions
Points within the lattice are written in the form h,k,l, where the three indices correspond to the fraction of the lattice parameters in the x,y,z direction.

Miller Indices
Procedure for writing directions in Miller Indices
Determine the coordinates of the two points in the direction. (Simplified if one of the points is the origin). Subtract the coordinates of the second point from those of the first. Clear fractions to give lowest integer values for all coordinates

Miller Indices
Indices are written in square brackets without commas (ex: [hkl]) Negative values are written with a bar over the integer. Ex: if h<0 then the direction is [hkl]

Miller Indices
Crystallographic Planes
Identify the coordinate intercepts of the plane
the coordinates at which the plane intercepts the x, y and z axes. If a plane is parallel to an axis, its intercept is taken as . If a plane passes through the origin, choose an equivalent plane, or move the origin

Take the reciprocal of the intercepts


October 18, 2013 ELECTRONIC DEVICES
22

Miller Indices
Clear fractions due to the reciprocal, but do not reduce to lowest integer values. Planes are written in parentheses, with bars over the negative indices.
Ex: (hkl) or if h<0 then it becomes

ex: plane A is parallel to x, and intercepts y and z at 1, and therefore is the (011). Plane B passes through the origin, so the origin is moved to O, thereby making the plane the (112 )

h: inverse x-intercept of plane k: inverse y-intercept of plane l: inverse z-intercept of plane


(Intercept values are in multiples of the lattice constant; h, k and l are reduced to 3 integers having the same ratio.)
