where the energy is given in joules per ion pair, and the interionic separation r is in meters. Calculate

where E is the potential energy and r represents interionic separation.

minimum (equilibrium) separation (ro).

Note however that this is the energy required to separate the Na+ and Cl- ions in the crystal and
then to take the ions to infinity, that is to break up the crystal into its ions. The actual bond energy
involves taking the NaCl crystal into its constituent neutral Na and Cl atoms. We have to transfer the

Substituting the value for equilibrium separation (ro) into this equation (2.81 × 10-10 m),

This value is somewhat larger than about 40 GPa in Table 1.2 (in the textbook), but not too far
out.
Author’s Note: As explained in the textbook’s CD, in “Bonding in Molecules and Solids” , in general,
the bulk modulus K can be found from the PE curve E = E(r) using

where c is a constant of the order of unity that depends on the crystal structure. (For example, for the
CsCl, c = 1.5 and NaCl, c = 2.) The elastic modulus Y and the bulk modulus K are related through the
Poisson’s ratio υ,
K = Y/[3(1 − 2υ)]
For many ceramics υ ≈ 1/4 so that Y ≈ (3/2)K and hence

To calculate the density, remember that the unit cell is FCC, and density = (mass of atoms in the
unit cell) / (volume of unit cell). There are 4 atoms per FCC unit cell, and the atomic mass of Ne is
20.18 g/mol.

Right: Reduced-sphere representation of the

Examples: Ag, Al, Au, Ca, Cu, γ-Fe (>912
°C), Ni, Pd, Pt, Rh.
Since it is an FCC crystal structure, let a = lattice parameter (side of cubic cell) and R = radius of
atom. The shortest interatomic separation is ro = 2R (atoms in contact means nucleus to nucleus
separation is 2R (see Figure 1Q3-1).
R = ro/2

∴
r
a = 2 2R = 2 2  o  = 2 (2.99 × 10−10 m )

∴
a = 4.228 × 10-10 m
Therefore, the volume (V) of the unit cell is:
V = a3 = (4.228 × 10-10 m)3 = 7.558 × 10-29 m3
The mass (m) of 1 Ne atom in grams is the atomic mass (Mat) divided by NA, because NA number
of atoms have a mass of Mat.
m = Mat / NA

There are 4 atoms per unit cell in the FCC cell. The density (ρ) can then be found by:
ρ = (4m) / V = [4 × (3.351 × 10-26 kg)] / (7.558 × 10-29 m3)
ρ = 1774 kg/m3
∴
In g/cm3 this density is:

The density of solid Ne is 1.77 g cm-3.
*1.14 BCC and FCC crystals
a. Consider iron below 912 °C, where its structure is BCC. Given the density of iron as 7.86 g cm-3
and its atomic mass as 55.85 g/mol, calculate the lattice parameter of the unit cell and the radius of
the Fe atom.
b. At 912 °C, iron changes from the BCC (α-Fe) to the FCC (γ-Fe) structure. The radius of the Fe
atom correspondingly changes from 0.1258 nm to 0.1291 nm. Calculate the density of γ-Fe and
explain whether there is a volume expansion or contraction during this phase change.
Solution
Given:
Density of iron at room temperature: ρ = 7.86 × 103 kg/m3
Atomic mass of iron: Mat = 55.85 g/mole

Diamond and zinc blende
Si has the diamond and GaAs has the zinc blende crystal structure. Given the lattice parameters of Si
and GaAs, a = 0.543 nm and a = 0.565 nm, respectively, and the atomic masses of Si, Ga, and As as
28.08 g/mol, 69.73 g/mol, and 74.92 g/mol, respectively, calculate the density of Si and GaAs. What
is the atomic concentration (atoms per unit volume) in each crystal?

Referring to the diamond crystal structure in Figure 1Q16-1, we can identify the following types
of atoms
8 corner atoms labeled C,
6 face center atoms (labeled FC) and
4 inside atoms labeled 1,2,3,4.

This problem assumes that students are familiar with three dimensional geometry and vector
products.
Figure 1Q18-1(a) shows a typical [hkl] line, labeled as ON, and a (hkl) plane in a cubic crystal.
ux, uy and uz are the unit vectors along the x, y, z coordinates. This is a cubic lattice so we have
Cartesian coordinates and ux⋅ux = 1 and ux⋅uy = 0 etc.

Given a = lattice parameter, then from the definition of Miller indices (h = 1/x1, k = 1/y1 and l =
1/z1) , the plane has intercepts: xo = ax1 =a/h; yo = ay1 = a/k; zo = az1 = a/l.
The vector ON = ahux + akuy + aluz
If ON is perpendicular to the (hkl) plane then the product of this vector with any vector in the
(hkl) plane will be zero. We only have to choose 2 non-parallel vectors (such as AB and BC) in the
plane and show that the dot product of these with ON is zero.
AB = OB − OA = (a/k)uy − (a/h)ux
ON•AB = (ahux + akuy + aluz) • ( (a/k)uy − (a/h)ux) = a2 − a2 = 0
Recall that
uxux = uyuy =1 and uxuy = uxuz = uyuz = 0
Similarly,
ON•BC = (ahux + akuy + aluz) • ( (a/l)uz − (a/k)uy) = 0
Therefore ON or [hkl] is normal to the (hkl) plane.
b
Suppose that OD is the normal from the plane to the origin as shown in Figure 1Q18-1(b).
Shifting a plane by multiples of lattice parameters does not change the miller indices. We can therefore
assume the adjacent plane passes through O. The separation between the adjacent planes is then simply
the distance OD in Figure 1Q18-1(b).
Let α, β and γ be the angles of OD with the x, y and z axes. Consider the direction cosines of the
line OD: cosα = d/(ax1) = dh/a; cosβ = d/(ay1) = dk/a; cosγ = d/(az1) = dl/a

But in 3 dimensions, (cosα)2 + (cosβ)2 + (cosγ)2 = 1
(d2h2/a2) + (d2k2/a2) + (d2l2/a2) = 1
Thus,
Rearranging, d2 = a2 / [h2 + k2 + l2]
d = a / [h2 + k2 + l2]1/2

The number of atoms per nm2, n111, is therefore:

Given:
Molar mass of SiO2: Mat = 28.09 × 10-3 kg/mol + 2 × 16 × 10-3 kg/mol = 60.09 × 10-3 kg/mol
Density of SiO2: ρ = 2.27 × 103 kg m-3
Let n be the number of SiO2 molecules per unit volume, then:

ρ = n at

Oxide has less dense packing so it has a more open structure. For every 1 micron of oxide
formed on the crystal surface, only about 0.5 micron of Si crystal is consumed.
