Structure of Crystalline Solids topics include: Crystals properties, bravais lattices, fcc 7 hcp metallic crystals, crystallographic directions, braggs law and amorphous solids. Crystalline solids are homogeneous solids with a definite chemical makeup. Their particles, atoms, ions, or molecules are arranged in a definite repeating pattern.
The structure of crystalline solids is made up of microscopic structures called crystal lattices. The crystal lattice is a three-dimensional, symmetrical arrangement of the atoms, ions, or molecules of the crystalline solid. The process of forming crystals is known as crystallization. Solid crystals can form by manipulating a solution through concentration, evaporation, or adding other solvents. Crystalline solids are classified into four types of bonding: Ionic, Networking (covalent), Molecular, Metallic.
Most metals and alloys crystallize in one of three structures: Body-centered cubic (bcc) Hexagonal close packed (hcp) Cubic close packed (ccp, also called face centered cubic, fcc)
