Question
classify the following as either 1). a substitutional impurity 2) an interstitial impurity 3).a vacancy 4) a self-interstitial or 5) not a defect Assume a monatomic basis for FCC and BCC structure)
a). A Au crystal (FCC structure) with a Pd atom at (a/2,a/2,a/2) in one of its unit cells.
b).A Si(diamond)structure with Cu atom at(a/2,a/2,a/2) in one of its unit cells (assume that the basis atoms are chosen to lie at 0 and at(a/4)(x+y+z)relative to each point of the FCC lattice)
(c) An Al(FCC)structure with no atom at (a/2,a/2,a/2)in one of its unit cells.
Explanation / Answer
ANSWER
(a) It is a substitutional impurity. The coordinates (a/2,a/2,a/2) correspond to atoms at faces.
(b) It represents an interstitial impurity
(c) It represents a vaccancy.
