How many lattice points are there in one unit cell of each of the following lattice? a. Face-centred cubic b. Face-centred tetragonal c. Body-centred |
|
Answer» In face centred cubic arrangement, Lattice point located at the corners of the cube = 8 Lattice point located at the corners of each face = 6 Total no. of lattice points = 8 + 6 = 14 (b) In face centred tetragonal, the number of lattice points is also the same i.e., 8 + 6 = 14. (In both the cases, particles per unit cell `=8xx1//8+6xx1//2=4)` (c) In body centred cubic arrangement, Lattice point located at the corners of the cube = 8 Lattice points located in the centre of the body = 1 Total no. of lattice points = `8+1=9` (the total number of particles per unit cell `=8xx1//8+1=2`) |
