Crystal structures metallic

Unit cell edge length for face-centered cubic 

The atomic bonding in this group of materials is metallic and thns nondirectional in natnre. Conseqnently, there are minimal restrictions as to the nnmber and position of nearest-neighbor atoms this leads to relatively large nnmbers of nearest neighbors and dense atomic packings for most metallic crystal structnres. Also, for metals, when we nse the hard-sphere model for the crystal structure, each sphere represents an ion core. Table 3.1 presents the atomic radii for a number of metals. Three relatively simple crystal structures are found for most of the common metals face-centered cubic, body-centered cnbic, and hexagonal close-packed.

For the FCC crystal structure, there are eight corner atoms = 8), six face atoms (Nf = 6), and no interior atoms (N = 0). Thus, from Equation 3.2, 

Corner and face positions are really equivalent—that is, translation of the cube corner from an original corner atom to the center of a face atom will not alter the cell structure.

The NaTl-type structure is the prototype for Zintl phases, which are inter-metallic compounds which crystallize in typical non-metal crystal structures. Binary AB compounds LiAl, LiGa, Liln and Naln are both isoelectronic (isovalent) and isostructural with NaTl. In the Li2AlSi ternary compound, A1 and Si form a diamond-like framework, in which the octahedral vacant sites of the A1 sublattice are filled by Li atoms, as shown in Fig. 13.7.2(b).

At present a large variety of solid compounds are called Zintl phases. The name Zintl phase was introduced by Laves According to Laves, Zintl phases are those intermetallic compounds which crystallize in typical non-metal crystal structures. For these compounds one expects an ionic contribution to the chemical bond. This definition has been extended to a large number of solid compounds formed by alkali or alkaline earth metals with metallic or semimetallic elements of the fourth, fifth and partly third group of the Periodic Table for which common structural and bonding properties have been found. The crystal structures and chemical properties of these compounds have been studied extensively . ...

It is natural to enquire how metallic conductivity arises on this picture. The answer is, as on the molecular-orbital theory, that metallic conduction will be possible only if in addition vacant metallic5 orbitals are also available to accept conductivity electrons. The essential requirement for the existence of a conducting metallic crystal structure is therefore that there shall be available a sufficiency of orbitals, of energy not very different from that of the outermost occupied orbitals, to produce a pattern of resonating covalent bonds, and in addition one or more wholly vacant orbitals, again of energy comparable with that of the occupied orbitals, to accept conductivity electrons. This condition is, indeed, satisfied in the example of lithium, given above, for two of the 2p orbitals are not involved in the covalent structure and so act as metallic orbitals.

According to the theory of composite systems [56], the existence of intermediate layer between two metals is inevitable in multilayered laminar metal structures. The thickness of the intermediate layer is usually of the order of couple atomic layers, and the parameters of the system (concentration of individual metals, crystal structure. Young s modulus, density, coefficient of thermal expansion, etc.) change from one layer to another. Usually such intermediate layer is composed of two layers of solid solutions and one layer of intermetallic compound, as it is schematically presented in Fig. 7.33.

The metallic bonding holds together the atoms of a metal and determines the formation of the metal crystal structures. AU valence electrons of the atoms in the metal form a common electronic cloud in the crystal lattice. In the crystal structures, the metal atoms usually have the coordination number 12 or 8 with lower coordination numbers being found in less-compact crystal structures (In, white Sn, Sb, Bi).
