Q3. The surface energy of a new surface can be calculated based on the equation discussed...
Niobium (Nb) has the BCC crystal with a lattice parameter a 0.3294 nm. Find the planar concentrations as the number of atoms per nm2 of the (100), (110) and (111) planes. Which plane has the most concentration of atoms per unit area? Sometimes the number of atoms per unit area nsurface on the surface of a crystal is estimated by using the relation nsurface - nbulk2/3 where nbulk is the concentration of atoms in the bulk. Compare nsurface values with...
EENG 245 Physical electronics HW 1 1) The NaCl crystal is cubic, and can be described as follows. Na atoms sit at the corners and faces of a cube, and Cl atoms sit in between two Na atoms. This means that a Clatom is found half-way along each of the cube edges, and there is a Cl in the center of the cube. (We could also have described the lattice by interchanging Na and Cl in the description above.) Another...
