(a) Prove that the packing fraction for the f.c.c. structures is 0.74.
(b) Determine the radius of a spherical atom (in terms of the radius of the host atom)
that can just fit into the tetrahedral and octahedral voids in the fcc structure.
(c) Determine the packing fraction in the following structures: (i) Simple Cubic; (ii)
Body Centered Cubic; (iii) Diamond Cubic.
(d) Given that the radius of the Zn2+ and S2- ions are 0.083nm and 0.174nm,
respectively, calculate the packing fraction of the Zinc Blende Structure
(e) Draw the following planes and directions in a tetragonal unit cell: (001),(011),
(113),[110],[201], and [101]. Show cell axes.
(f) Show by means of a (110) sectional drawing that [111] is perpendicular to (111) in
the cubic system but not, in general, in the tetragonal system.
