The volume density of atoms for a simple cubic lattice is 9 × 10^22 cm^-3. Assume that the atoms are hard spheres with each atom touching its nearest neighbor. Determine the lattice constant and the volume of the atom.

Step 1
We are given the volume density of atoms for a simple cubic lattice, which is \(9 \times 10^{22} \, \text{cm}^{-3}\). We need to determine the lattice constant (the edge length of the cubic unit cell) and the volume of a single atom. Show more…

Consider a body-centered cubic lattice. Assume the atoms are hard spheres with the surfaces of the nearest neighbors touching. Assume the radius of the atom is 2.25 A*. (a) Calculate the volume density of atoms in the crystal. (b) Calculate the distance between nearest (110) planes. (c) Calculate the surface density of atoms on the (110) plane.

Assume that each atom is a hard sphere with the surface of each atom in contact with the surface of its nearest neighbor. Determine the percentage of total unit cell volume that is occupied in ( $a$ ) a simple cubic lattice, $(b)$ a face-centered cubic lattice, $(c)$ a body-centered cubic lattice, and $(d)$ a diamond lattice.
