1. For the simple cubic unit cell shown in the figure 1 , there are eight identical atoms
with radius R at the corner of the cube, the side length of the cube is a. There is
one interstitial site at the center of the cube.
2. Obtain the 4-index notation for the vectors in HCP crystals in the figure 2. (2
