1.8.1: Ideal Crystal
• A crystalline solid is a solid in which the atoms bond with
each other in a regular pattern to form a periodic collection
(or array) of atom.
• The most important property of a crystal is periodicity which
leads to what is termed as long range order.
• An ideal crystal is a periodic array of structural units, such
as atoms or molecules.
• It can be constructed by the infinite repetition of these
identical structural units in space.
• Structure can be described in terms of a lattice, with a group
of atoms attached to each lattice point. The group of atoms is
the basis.
The unit cell is the most convenient small cell in the crystal
structure that carries the properties of the crystal.

• Covalently bonded solids, such as Si and Ge, have a diamond crystal
structure.
The zinc blende unit cell can also be described in terms of a fundamental
FCC.
Lattice and a basis that has two atoms, Zn and S (or Ga and As).
For example, we can place one Zn at each lattice point and one S atom
displaced from the Zn by a /4 along the cube edges.

• The FCC crystal structure of Cu is known as a close-packed
crystal structure because the Cu atoms are packed as closely as
possible.
• BCC unit cell has one atoms at its comers and one atom at the
center of the cell.
