प्रश्न

Find the number of atoms in the fcc unit cell.

थोडक्यात उत्तर

उत्तर

  1. A face-centred cubic (fcc) unit cell has particles at the eight corners plus particles at the centre of its six faces.
  2. Each particle present at the corner of a given unit cell is shared with seven other neighbouring unit cells. As a result, its contribution to the given unit cell is only `1/8`.
    Thus, the number of particles present at corners per unit cell
    = 8 corner atoms × `1/8` atom per unit cell = 1
  3. Each particle at the centre of the six faces is shared with one neighbouring cube. Thus, 1/2 of each face particle belongs to the given unit cell. Thus, the number of particles present at faces per unit cell
    = 6 atoms at the faces × `1/2` atom per unit cell = 3
    Therefore, fcc unit cell has one corner particle plus 3 face particles, making total of 4 particles per unit cell.
