• How do atoms assemble into solid structures
in metallic, ceramic and polymeric materials?
• How do the structures of ceramic materials
differ from those of metals?

Atomic Packing of Crystallographic Planes
• We want to examine the atomic packing of
crystallographic planes
• Iron foil can be used as a catalyst. The
atomic packing of the exposed planes is
important.
a) Draw (100) and (111) crystallographic planes
for Fe.
b) Calculate the planar density for each of these
planes.

Ceramic Crystal Structures
Oxide structures
– oxygen anions much larger than metal cations
– close packed oxygen in a lattice (usually FCC)
– cations in the holes of the oxygen lattice
Chapter 4 - 20
Site Selection
Which sites will cations occupy?
1. Size of sites
– does the cation fit in the site
2. Stoichiometry
– if all of one type of site is full the
remainder have to go into other types of
sites.
3. Bond Hybridization
Chapter 4 - 21
Ionic Bonding & Structure

Mechanical Properties
We know that ceramics are more brittle
than metals. Why?
• Consider method of deformation (will
learn later in chapters on mechanical
properties – Chapter 9 and 10)
– slippage along slip planes
• in ionic solids this slippage is very difficult
• too much energy needed to move one anion
past another anion
