All prefactors in Eq. 2.107 (i.e. g, t,f, Af, and Af") are identical for the pairs of the symmetrically equivalent atoms. Hence, Bragg reflections in which the sums of all Miller indices are odd should have zero structure amplitude and zero intensity in any body-centered crystal structure. In other words, they become extinct or absent, and therefore, could not be observed and are forbidden. 

This structure factor calculation confirms the geometric argument of (001) extinction in a body-centered crystal. Practically, we do not have to calculate the structure extinction using Equation 2.11 for simple crystal structures such as BCC and face-centered cubic (FCC). Their structure extinction rules are given in Table 2.2, which tells us the detectable crystallographic planes for BCC and FCC crystals. From the lowest Miller indices, the planes are given as following. 

The vacancy formation scales to the melting point as it is seen in Figure 7.5 for metals with the body-centered crystal (bcc) lattice. 

The metal itself has a body-centered crystal structure. 

The body-centered crystal structures of carbon and low-alloy steels are susceptible to four types of hydrogen damage, two of which are low-temperature processes and two are high-temperature processes ... 

Iron forms a body-centered crystal with a unit cell dimension equal to 2.861 x 10 ° m. Calculate the density of iron. Compare it with the experimental value (look it up). 

While the 20 Group 1 metal halides all adopt either a face-centered or a body-centered crystal structure, crystals of the 32 dihalides of the Group 2 and 12 metals form a bewildering array of at least 15 different structure types. Both the crystal and the gas-phase structures have recently been described and correlated in comprehensive reviews by Hoffman and coworkers [16, 17]. In this section we shall be particularly concerned with the crystal stractures of the eight metal difluorides and the four mercury dihalides.
