What is the number of atoms in an elementary cell of a face-centered cubic lattice?

Answer»


Solution :In a face-cenered lattice, the atoms occupy POSITIONS at the eight CORNERS and in the six faces (FIG.). A corner has `1//8` of an atom, a face `1//2` an atom. ALTOGETHER a cell has `8 xx 1/8 + 6 xx 1/2 = 4` atoms.
