Basic Of Crystal Structure
 Lattice:-
"An infinite periodic array of points in a
space "
-The arrangement of points defines the
lattice symmetry
-A lattice may be one, two or three
dimensonal

Basis(Motif):-
A group of one or more atoms, located in a
particular way with respect to each other
and associated with each point, is known as
the Motif or Basis.

-so we obtain a crystal structure by adding
the lattice and basis
- So we can say that, When an atom or
identical group of atoms is attached to every
lattice point, we obtain a crystal structure.
• Crystals are classified into two
types
1. Poly crystal
2. Single crystal
• Poly crystal: In this type of crystal
periodicity is not maintained
throughout the body.
• Single crystal: In this type
of crystal periodicity is
maintained throughout the
body.

Unit cell:- " Atoms or group of atoms forming a building


block of the smallest acceptable size of the whole volume of
a crystal is defined as a unit cell ".

Unit Cell Unit cells in 3 dimensions


-By stacking identical unit cells, the entire lattice can
be constructed.
- Lattice points are located at the corner of the unit
cell and in some cases, at either faces or the centre of
the unit cell.
• Here for the cubic crystal system we
have Simple cubic (SC), Face-centred
cubic (FCC),and Body-centred
cubic(BCC).
Total no. of atom per simple cubic cell
is 8(1/8) = 1 atom
Total no. of atom per BCC unit cell
is 8(1/8)+1 = 2 atom
Shared by 8 Total no. of atom per FCC unit
unit cells cell is
8(1/8)+6(1/2) = 4 atom
• There are seven unique arrangements
,known as crystal systems, which fill in a
three dimensional space.

DEFECTS IN CRYSTALS
INTRODUCTION
• Crystalline material has a crystal structure in
which the atoms are positioned in perfect
ordered pattern which is repetitive over large
atomic distance.
• Defects have a profound impact on the
macroscopic properties of materials.
• Sometimes defects are deliberately created to
improve properties of crystal.

atom in a crystalline substance.

VACANCY DEFECT

Missing atom

 Atom missing from an atomic site


 Occur due to imperfect packing during crystallisation
 This results in decrease in density of the substance
 Number of vacancy defects depend on temperature
INTERSTITIALS DEFECT

Interstitial atom

 Addition of an extra atom within a crystal structure


 This defect increases the density of the substance
 Causes atomic distortion
 Vacancy and interstitials are inverse phenomena
SCHOTTKY DEFECT

 Pair of anion and cation vacancies


 In order to maintain electrical neutrality, the number of missing
cations and anions are equal
 It also decreases the density of crystal
 E.g. Alkali halides such as NaCl, KF, etc.
FRENKEL DEFECTS

 Cation (being smaller get displaced to interstitial voids


 Combination of vacancy and interstitial atom
 No change in the density
 E.g. AgI, CaF2
LINE DEFECTS
• Line defects are the irregularities or deviations
from ideal arrangement in entire rows of lattice
points.

• Interatomic bonds significantly distorted in


immediate vicinity of dislocation line.
• Dislocation affects the mechanical properties.
EDGE DISLOCATION SCREW DISLOCATION

• POSITIVE DISLOCATION The lattice/atomic planes


• NEGATIVE DISLOCATION follow helical or spiral
along the dislocation line.
• A dislocation is a line discontinuity in the regular crystal
structure.

• Line defects are the irregularities or deviations from ideal


arrangement in entire rows of lattice point.

• Dislocation affects the mechanical properties

• It has three types

Edge dislocation Burgers vector

As the dislocation moves, the extra half plane


will break its existing bonds and form new
bonds with its neighbor opposite of the Edge
dislocation motion dislocation
line
Screw dislocati
The
on spiral stacking of crystal planes leads to the burgers vector being parallel to the dislocation
line.

Mixed dislocation

This dislocation has both edge and screw character with a single Burgers vector
consistent with the pure edge and pure screw regions.

Screw dislocation
SURFACE DEFECTS
• Surface defects are associated with boundaries
that are separate regions of the materials and
have different crystal structure.
• Two Dimensional defect.
• Due to change in orientation of the atomic
planes and stacking sequence of atomic planes.
• Caused during solidification or mechanical or
thermal treatment of material.
• Effect the mechanical properties, electrical
resistance and corrosion resistance.
PLANAR OR SURFAC
E DEFECTS
It is a two dimensional defect. Planar defects during mechanical and thermal
treatments.
The change may be of the orientation or of the stacking sequence of the planes.

Planar defects are of the following types:


•Grain boundaries
•Tilt boundaries
•Twin boundaries
•Stacking faults

Grain boundaries
Twin boundaries
Bulk or Volume Defects

PERCIPITATES : precipitates, which are a fraction of a micron in size and decorate the
crystal
DISPERSANTS :Dispersants, which vary in size from a fraction of a micron to the
normal grain size (10-100µm), some time they are intentionally introduced into the
microstructure
INCLUSIONS : Inclusions vary in size from a few microns to macroscopic dimensions,
and are relatively large, undesirable particles that entered the system as dirt or formed by
precipitation
VOIDS : voids are holes in the solid formed by trapped gases or by the accumulation of
vacancies.
Mechanisms of Plastic de
formation

Slip and Twining


Slip Systems
# Preferred planes for dislocation movement (slip planes)
Preferred crystallographic directions (slip directions)
Slip planes + directions (slip systems)

# More no. of slip systems indicates that material is


ductile

# Normally No. of slip systems > 5 termed as


ductile materials

# Most of BCC materials are ductile in nature


Mechanisms of plastic deformation in metals - Slip

•Two prominent mechanisms of plastic deformation, namely


slip and twinning .

•Slip is the prominent mechanism of plastic deformation in


metals. It involves sliding of blocks of crystal over one
other along definite crystallographic planes, called slip
planes.

•It is analogous to a deck of cards when it is pushed from one


end. Slip occurs when shear stress applied exceeds a critical
value.
Mechanisms of plastic deformation in metals – Twinnin
g

Twinning
•Portion of crystal takes up an orientation that is related to the
orientation of the rest of the untwined lattice in a definite,
symmetrical way.

•The twinned portion of the crystal is a mirror image of the


parent crystal.

•The plane of symmetry is called twinning plane.


Slip in Single Crystals - Resolving the Applied St
ress onto the Slip System

# Dislocations move in particular slip system in


response to shear stresses applied

# Applied stress is resolved onto the slip systems

# Resolved shear stress ( R)


-which is required to produce a plastic
deformation
-it result from application of a simple tensile
stress, 

# Critical Resolved shear stress ( CRSS)

# Schmid Law
Normal to slip
plane
Slip direction
# Area of the slip plane = A / Cos 
# Load acting on the slip plane = P Cos 

Resolved Shear stress = P Cos  A / Cos 


= P / A . Cos  Cos

Schmid law

R /  = Cos  Cos   M

M = Schmid factor
# Maximum value of ( M = cos cos ) corresponds to
 =  = 45o, M = 0.5,  y = 2  CRSS

# Slip will occur first in slip systems oriented close to


this angle ( =  = 45o) w.r.t the applied stress

# This mainly depends on composition and


temperature
Slip in a Single Crystal

Slip bands
Deformation by Twinning

# Whenever slip is not possible

# Creates a deformed portion grain which is just mirror


image of the rest of the parent grain
