Principal Metallic Crystal Structures
• 90% of the metals have either Body Centered Cubic (BCC), Face
Centered Cubic (FCC) or Hexagonal Close Packed (HCP) crystal
structure. Most metals crystallize upon solidification into three
densely packed crystal structure (BCC, FCC, HCP)
• HCP is denser version of simple hexagonal crystal
structure.

Procedure to Find Direction Indices
Produce the direction vector till it

emerges from surface of cubic cell
(1,1/2,1) - (0,0,0)

Determine the coordinates of point = (1,1/2,1)

Subtract coordinates of point of x = (2,1,2)
Emergence by that of origin

Direction Indices - Example
• Determine direction indices
of the given vector.
Origin coordinates are (3/4 , 0
, 1/4).
Emergence coordinates are
(1/4, 1/2, 1/2).
Subtracting origin
coordinates
from emergence coordinates,
(1/4, 1/2, 1/2) -(3/4 , 0 , 1/4)
= (-1/2, 1/2, 1/4)
Multiply by 4 to convert all
fractions to integers
4 x (-1/2, 1/2, 1/4) = (-2, 2, 1)
Therefore, the direction
indices are [ 2 21]

X-Ray Spectrum of Molybdenum
• X-Ray spectrum of Molybdenum
is obtained when Molybdenum is
used as target metal.
• Kα and Kβ are characteristic of
an element.
• For Molybdenum Kα occurs at
wave length of about 0.7nm.
• Electrons of n=1 shell of target
metal are knocked out by
bombarding electrons.
• Electrons of higher level drop
down by releasing energy to
replace lost electrons

X-Ray Diffraction (Cont..)
nλ = MP + PN (n = 1,2…)
n is order of diffraction
Then MP = PN = dhkl.Sinθ
Therefore, λ = 2 dhkl.Sinθ
