Rutile is the name given to a crystal structure commonly adopted by compound s of the form
Question:
(a) How many atoms of element A are there per unit cell?
(b) How many atoms of element B are there per unit cell?
(c) Is your answer to part (b) consistent with the stoichiometry of an AB 2 compound? Explain.
(d) Draw the unit cell for rutile. Use a different symbol for each type of atom. Provide a legend indicating w hich symbol represents which type of atom.
(e) For the simple tetragonal lattice, and a = b ≠ c and α = β = γ = 90 ˚. There is one lattice point per unit cell located at the corners of the simple tetragon al lattice. Describe the rutile structure as a simple tetragonal lattice and a basis.
