Figure 1: XRD data
For an FCC crystal with lattice constant a=0.3nm, calculate the volume atomic density,
the planar atomic density of the (011) plane, and the linear density in the [111] direction.
Briefly describe what it means to be a polycrystalline solid
Briefly define isotropy/anisotropy and identify which materials in table 3.4 may be isotropic
vs anisotropic.
Briefly describe the process used to determine crystal orientation using X-Ray Diffractometry
(XRD)
Calculate expected measured diffraction angle, 2, for a (111) plane in an FCC crystal with
lattice constant a=0.4nm if a second order peak is observed using a 0.1749 nm laser
Calculate the lattice constant for the XRD data in figure 1 below assuming it was illumi-
nated by a 0.15 nm monochromatic laser. You may assume all listed planes are first order
diffractions
Briefly describe the differences between interstitial and vacancy type defects
Calculate the vacancy concentration for the crystal described in problem 1 at 100 C if the
activation energy is Qv=1.2eV.
Why might vacancy concentration be temperature dependent?
Would an interstital or substitutional impurity participate in the bonding structure of the
crystal? Why?
Given an FCC crystal, what is the largest possible radius of an interstital impurity which
exists on an edge of a crystal with a=0.5nm(i.e. on a direct line between two adjacent
corners)?
