What is the volume of atom/volume of cell?
Calculating Atom/Cell Volume in Simple Cubic Crystal
Click For Summary
SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on calculating the volume of atoms in relation to the volume of a unit cell in a simple cubic crystal structure. The length of the unit cell is defined as 'a', and the volume of the unit cell is calculated as a³. To determine the volume of atoms, one must consider the fraction of each atom contained within the unit cell.
PREREQUISITES- Understanding of crystal structures, specifically simple cubic lattices.
- Familiarity with unit cell dimensions and their significance in crystallography.
