Unit ceil

For comparable metal-vapor pressures, the most stable hexaboride is that which has the smallest unit ceil SmB is more stable than BaB, which has a larger unit cell.

Ordered Perovskite-type Compounds, A2(BB )06 Systems Cubic Fmim A feature of the perovskite structure is that, with the proper substitutions, many types of ordered structures can readily be formed. This can be accomplished by the substitution of two suitable metal ions (with different oxidation states) in the octahedral sites of the structure. In this case the unit ceil is doubled along the three cubic axes to generate an 0.8 A unit ceil (Figure 15). Partial substitution of different transition metal ions in the octahedral sites is also possible the general formulation for these compounds would be A2(B2 xB x)06. The parentheses in this formulation enclose atoms occupying the octahedral sites in the structure.

Unit cells are further subclassified as simple cubic/ face-centered cubic, body-centered cubic, base-centered rhombic, etc. but in order to avoid duplication in classification (Exercise 3), certain of the possibilities are left out (for example, face-centered tetragonal, side-centered rhombic), Actually 14 distinct types of space lattice are recognized. A number of cubic unit ceils and one body-centered tetragonal cell... 

Tabic l.l gives those crystal data for the C,S polymorphs that have been obtained using single crystal methods. The literature contains additional unit cell data, based only on powder diffraction evidence. Some of these may be equivalent to ones in Table 1.1, since the unit ceil of a monoclinic or triclinic crystal can be defined in different ways, but some are certainly incorrect. Because only the stronger reflections are recorded, and for other reasons, it is not possible to determine the unit cells of these complex structures reliably by powder methods. The unit cells of the T, Mj and R forms are superficially somewhat different, but all three are geometrically related transformation matrices have been given (12,HI).

S3.5 The position of tetrahedral holes in a ccp unit cell is shown in Figure 3,20(b). From the figure, it is obvious that each unit cell contains eight tetrahedral holes, each inside the unit ceil. As outlined in Example 3.5, the ccp unit cell has four identical spheres. Thus, the spheres-to-tetrahedral holes ratio in this cell is 4 8 or I 2. 

Look at the Example 3.8 and Self-Test 3.8 if you have problems determining the composition of the unit ceils. Using the same approach as outlined in these, you can find that the cubic F lattice has indeed four points, and that body-centred has two.
