Given: c-to-a ratio= 1.633 or c = 1.633a or a=c/1.633
(where c is the Height and a is the Length of each side)
Atomic Packing Factor (APF) is calculate as
APF= Volume of Atoms in Unit Cell/ Unit Cell Volume
In a hexagonal close-packed structure, number of atoms per unit cell is 6.
Thus, Volume of atoms in unit cell = 6*(4/3r3)= 8r3
where r is the Radius of the Atom
Unit Cell Volume= Area of hexagon* Height
Area of hexagon, A is
Substitute for a,
Unit Cell Volume=0.9742c2*c
Unit Cell Volume= 0.9742 c3
Substitute the values to find APF
In a hexagon, a=2r r=a/2 or r= c/(1.633*2)=c/3.266
Thus the above equation becomes
You determine that material (c) has a hexagonal close-packed structure, where the c-to-a ratio is 1.633....
Hexagonal Close-Packed Structure a) The conventional HCP unit cell shown to the right is not a Bravais lattice, but it can be defined as a simple hexagonal lattice with a two-atom basis. Draw the simple hexagonal unit cell on this structure and label the fundamental lattice translation vectors as a1,a2, and a3. b) Calculate the direction of each lattice translation vector in cartesian coordinates using the cartesian coordinate system shown on the diagram. c) In terms of lattice constants a and c, calculate...
Metallic beryllium has a hexagonal close-packed structure and a density of 1.85 g/cm3. Assume beryllium atoms to be spheres of radius r. Because beryllium has a close-packed structure, 74.1% of the space is occupied by atoms. Calculate the volume of each atom, then find the atomic radius, r. The volume of a sphere is equal to 4πr3/3.

Material science 2. (i) For HCP crystals, show that the c/a ratio is 1.633. (iü) Calculate the atomic packing factor of HCP unit cell. 25pts 25pts
Can you explain which one of A and are the lattice sites and why please? and since there's only A and B does that mean there are only two primitive lattice vectors or three? (A bit confused here) Many thanks (c) Hexagonal close-packing (hcp) is an important close-packed structure. The first layer of spheres (of radius r) is placed at the A sites, as shown. The second layer is placed at the B sites, each touching three spheres in the...

Use foam balls and toothpicks to create a space-filling model of a simple cubic unit cell. The surfaces of the balls should be touching. On the cube above, draw a cut- away view showing only the atoms (or parts of atoms) inside one unit cell. Pay particular attention to where atoms touch (or not). One atom has been drawn in for you as an example. Number of atoms per unit cell - Coordination number (number of nearest neighbors)- Co A...
