Structure of Materials –

part 1

Why do we need to study structure of
materials?
• Properties of materials depend on crystal
structures

Crystalline materials Amorphous materials


• atoms pack in periodic, • atoms have no periodic ordering
long range order - glass
- metals - plastic
- ceramics
- some polymers

• Periodic arrangement of atoms in space →


Crystal
• Periodicity of atoms can be represented by a
network of points in space → Lattice
• Space Lattice: 3D array of points, each of which
has identical surroundings
• Position of other lattice points (in crystalline
materials) can be obtained by translation

• Based on length / equality or inequality of


a, b and c and orientation (α, β, γ)
→ 7 Crystal systems
• With the addition of Face- / Body-centering
→ 14 Bravais lattices

Crystal Planes
• Orientation of a plane is described in terms
of coordinates through which they pass
along X-, Y- and Z-axis
19
Crystal Planes
• Miller indices of a lattice plane || Procedure
– Determine intercepts along the crystallographic
axes, in terms of unit cell dimensions
– reciprocal of fractional intercepts
– normalize to smallest integer values
– three Miller indices as (hkl)

• (100), (010), (001) → Cube faces
• All (100) combinations → Family of Planes

Crystal Directions (Miller Indices) 33

• represented in terms of three


axes with reference to Origin;
r = r1X+r2Y+r3Z
• Miller indices are vector
components of the direction
resolved along coordinates

• [hkl], family <hkl>
Family of Directions 34

<100> directions:

(100) & [100] are perpendicular in cubic system

Q. Draw a (111) plane in the unit cell of a
cubic crystal. Show all the <110> directions
that lie on this plane and write the Miller
indices of those directions.
