Face-centered-cubic metals

Draw the simple (111), (100), and (110) surfaces of face-centered cubic metals, the (110) and (100) surfaces of body-centered cubic metals, and the (001) surface of an hexagonally-dosed packed surface. 

Figure 6.2 shows yield stress versus shear modulus data for face-centered cubic metals at about 78 K. The yield stresses were derived from Brinell Hardness Numbers (Gilman, 1960). The slope of the correlation line is tb = G/333, in good agreement with the theoretical estimate of the previous paragraph. 

Particles of face-centered cubic metals of diameter 5 nm of more have been studied extensively by high resolution electron microscopy, diffraction and other methods. It has been shown that such particles are usually multiply twinned, often conforming approximately the idealized models of decahedral and icosahedral particles consisting of clusters of five or twenty tetrahedrally...

Hagg found that metals can accommodate interstitial nonmetal atoms of radius up to 59% of that of the metal atoms. Show that, in this limiting case, accommodation of the nonmetal atoms in the octahedral holes of a face-centered cubic metal lattice should result in an expansion of the unit cell dimension by 12.4%. [Hint Review the radius ratio rules in Section 4.5.]... 

It is often useful to consider that sites for chemisorption result from surface coordinative unsaturation, i.e., that atoms at the surface have a lower coordination number than those in bulk. Thus, for example a chromium ion at the surface of chromium oxide has a coordination number less than that of a chromium ion in the bulk. The chromium ion will tend to bind a suitable adsorptive so as to restore its coordination number. An atom in the (100) surface of a face-centered cubic metal has a coordination number of 8 vs 12 for an atom in bulk this, too, represents surface coordinative unsaturation. However, of course, there are sites to which the concept of surface coordinative unsaturation does not apply, for example, Br nsted acid sites. 

The transition metal carbides do have a notable drawback relative to engineering applications low ductility at room temperature. Below 1070 K, these materials fail in a brittle manner, while above this temperature they become ductile and deform plastically on multiple slip systems much like fee (face-centered-cubic) metals. This transition from brittle to ductile behavior is analogous to that of bee (body-centered-cubic) metals such as iron, and arises from the combination of the bee metals strongly temperature-dependent yield stress (oy) and relatively temperature-insensitive fracture stress.1 Brittle fracture is promoted below the ductile-to-brittle transition temperature because the stress required to fracture is lower than that required to move dislocations, oy. The opposite is true, however, above the transition temperature. 

If the crystal is prepared in the form of a sphere, all possible faces will be exposed a number of times on the surface. In the case of the face-centered cubic metals, for example, the (100) face will appear 6 times, the (111) face 8, the (110) face 12, and so on. Therefore, all faces appear on the surface a number of times, and from the symmetry of the patterns which form during reaction, as described later, the different crystal faces may be... 

Metallic membranes for hydrogen separation can be of many types, such as pure metals Pd, V, Ta, Nb, and Ti binary alloys of Pd, with Cu, Ag, and Y Pd alloyed with Ni, Au, Ce, and Fe and complex alloys of Pd alloyed with more than one metal [3], Body-centered cubic metals, for example, Nb and V, have higher permeability than face-centered cubic metals, for instance, Pd and Ni [26-29], Even though Nb, V, and Ta possess a permeability greater than that of Pd, these metals develop oxide layers and are complicated to be used as hydrogen separation membranes [29], Especially, the Pd and Pd-based membranes have in recent times obtained renovated consideration on account of the prospects of a generalized use of hydrogen as a fuel in the future [26], We emphasize on these types of membranes in this chapter. 

Only limited data is available for the three face-centered cubic metals, Ag (34), Pd (50), and oe-brass (51) (Table II). The orientations for the major faces of the system Ag20-Ag were exactly like those for C O-Cu, The data for both Pd and a-brass are subject to question since the nature of the surfaces of the evaporated films or etched foils used are unknown in these... 

Preferred orientation of metal films can be clearly achieved by depositing the metal on the smooth surface of a well-crystallized solid in vacuo. For example, Uyeda (94) and Kainuma (95) obtained (lll)-oriented films of nickel, copper, and platinum when these metals were deposited on a cleavage surface of molybdenite (0001) at temperatures ranging from 20° to 500°C. Miyake and Kubo (96) observed a temperature dependency of the orientation of deposited films of face-centered cubic metals when they were deposited on a cleavage surface of zinc blende (110).

We therefore find, as might be expected, that the disordered alloy produces a diffraction pattern similar to that of any face-centered cubic metal, say pure gold or pure copper. No reflections of mixed indices are present. 

Most of the metals crystallize in the cubic system (face centered, body centered). Zn and Cd crystallize in the hexagonal system, Bi in the rhombohedral system, and Sn in the tetragonal system. In this chapter emphasis will be placed on the cubic system, for Au, Ag, Cu, Pb, and so forth, are face-centered-cubic metals (fee). 

Aluminum, copper, and other face-centered cubic metals and alloys (such as the austenitic stainless steels and nickel-base alloys) do not become brittle at low temperatures, except if heavily cold worked. Most such alloys are exempt from impact testing for design temperatures down to -320°F (-195°C). Some types, such as Type 304, are exempt down to 25°F (-255°C). The exemption temperatures for weld metals and HAZs are usually higher than those for the parent metal. 

Nickel is a face-centered-cubic metal with an atomic density of 9.14 x 1022 atoms cnT3, an atomic weight of 8.7, and density of 8.91 g cnT3... 

We believe that the random redistribution procedure can be understood in terms of the following physical picture. Propyl radicals remain adsorbed on the (111) face of face-centered cubic metals long enough to become almost completely exchanged. If their average deuterium content is about 97% when they desorb, the chance of any propane containing eight, seven, or any other number of deuterium atoms, is a purely random one. 

Draw the geometric structures of the (332) and (430) face-centered-cubic metal surfaces. 

The experimentally determined surface self-diffusion constants for face-centered cubic and body-centered cubic metals are plotted in Figures 4.12 and 4.13 as a function of 7 ,/7 , where T, is the absolute melting temperature. For face-centered cubic metals this dependence is approximated by two functions ...
