Cubic unit cells body-centered

Simple cubic (one atom per unit cell) Body-centered cubic (two atoms per unit cell) Face-centered cubic (four atoms per unit cell)... 

By means of X-ray diffractometry, the atomic arrangements in metals have been determined. Most of the metals crystallize in one of three typical metallic structures with unit cells body-centered cubic, bcc, facehexagonal close packed, hep (Figure 2.3). 

The cubic crystal system, for example, is separated into three Bravais lattices depending on whether the unit cell has species only at the corners (simple or primitive cubic)-, at the corners and the center of the unit cell (body-centered cubic)-, or at the faces of the unit cell (face-centered cubic). Note that for the body-centered cubic, the species (atom, ion, or molecule) in the center contributes one full member to the stoichiometry of the cell, and the atoms, ions, or molecules in the faces of the unit cell contribute of a member each. (Recall that species at the corners contribute I of a member each.) For face-centered cubic unit cells, the facial species contribute, overall, X 6 = 3 members to the stoichiometry of the unit cell.

Structures for the solid (a) fee Cco, (b) fee MCco, (c) fee M2C60 (d) fee MsCeo, (e) hypothetical bee Ceo, (0 bet M4C60, and two structures for MeCeo (g) bee MeCeo for (M= K, Rb, Cs), and (h) fee MeCeo which is appropriate for M = Na, using the notation of Ref [42]. The notation fee, bee, and bet refer, respectively, to face centered cubic, body centered cubic, and body centered tetragonal structures. The large spheres denote Ceo molecules and the small spheres denote alkali metal ions. For fee M3C60, which has four Ceo molecules per cubic unit cell, the M atoms can either be on octahedral or tetrahedral symmetry sites. Undoped solid Ceo also exhibits the fee crystal structure, but in this case all tetrahedral and octahedral sites are unoccupied. For (g) bcc MeCeo all the M atoms are on distorted tetrahedral sites. For (f) bet M4Ceo, the dopant is also found on distorted tetrahedral sites. For (c) pertaining to small alkali metal ions such as Na, only the tetrahedral sites are occupied. For (h) we see that four Na ions can occupy an octahedral site of this fee lattice.

Three types of unit cells. In each case, there is an atom at each of the eight corners of the cube. In the body-centered cubic unit cell, there is an additional atom in the center of the cube. In the face-centered cubic unit cell, there is an atom in the center of each of the six faces.

It follows that 3a2 = (4r)1 and therefore that a = 4r/3112. Each unit cell contains one sphere at each of the eight corners and one sphere at the center 8 X 1/8 +1=2 spheres so the total mass of a body-centered cubic unit cell is 2M/NA. Therefore,...

The most important metals for catalysis are those of the groups VIII and I-B of the periodic system. Three crystal structures are important, face-centered cubic (fee Ni, Cu, Rh, Pd, Ag, Ir, Pt, Au), hexagonally dose-packed (hep Co, Ru, Os) and body-centered cubic (bcc Fe). Figure 5.1 shows the unit cell for each of these structures. Note that the unit cells contain 4, 2, and 6 atoms for the fee, bcc, and hep structure, respectively. Many other structures, however, exist when considering more complex materials such as oxides, sulfides etc, which we shall not treat here. Before discussing the surfaces that the metals expose, we mention a few general properties.

The CsCl type offers the simplest way to combine atoms of two different elements in the same arrangement as in body-centered cubic packing the atom in the center of the unit cell is surrounded by eight atoms of the other element in the vertices of the unit cell. In this way each atom only has adjacent atoms of the other element. This is a condition that cannot be fulfilled in a closest-packing of spheres (cf. preceding section). 

Caesium chloride is not body-centered cubic, but cubic primitive. A structure is body centered only if for every atom in the position x, y, z there is another symmetry-equivalent atom in the position x+ j,y+ j,z+ j in the unit cell. The atoms therefore must be of the same kind. It is unfortunate to call a cluster with an interstitial atom a centered cluster because this causes a confusion of the well-defined term centered with a rather blurred term. Do not say, the 04 tetrahedron of the sulfate ion is centered by the sulfur atom.

The chemistry of Scheme 2 produces a cubic pore structure with long-range periodicity and unit cell parameter (Ko) of 8.4 nm. The material show a relatively large number of Bragg peaks in the X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern, which can be indexed as (211), (220), (321), (400), (420), (332), (422), (431), (611), and (543) Bragg diffraction peaks of the body-centered cubic Ia-3d symmetry (Fig. 1). 

Crystal Systems. The cubic crystal system is composed of three space lattices, or unit cells, one of which we have already studied simple cubic (SC), body-centered cubic (BCC), anA face-centered cubic (FCC). The conditions for a crystal to be considered part of the cubic system are that the lattice parameters be the same (so there is really only one lattice parameter, a) and that the interaxial angles all be 90°. 

Body-centered cubic (BCC) is the unit cell of many metals and, like SC, is not a close-packed structure. The number of atoms in the BCC unit cell are calculated as follows ... 

The concept of close packing is particularly useful in describing the crystal structures of metals, most of which fall into one of three classes hexagonal close packed, cubic close packed (i.e., fee), and body-centered cubic (bcc). The bcc unit cell is shown in Fig. 4.8 its structure is not close packed. The stablest structures of metals under ambient conditions are summarized in Table 4.1. Notable omissions from Table 4.1, such as aluminum, tin, and manganese, reflect structures that are not so conveniently classified. The artificially produced radioactive element americium is interesting in that the close-packed sequence is ABAC..., while one form of polonium has...

Cesium, chloride (CsCl) structure (Fig. 4-H)- The CsCl structure can be described as interpenetrating simple cubic arrays of Cs+ and CP. Again, the Cs+ and CP positions are fully interchangeable. The structure is sometimes wrongly called body-centered cubic (bcc). The terminology is appropriate only when the shaded and unshaded atoms of Fig. 4.11 are identical, as in Fig. 4.8. In any case, the coordination number is eight for any atom. The unit cell of CsCl contains one net CsCl unit.
