The face centered cubic (FCC) unit cell begins with a totally different layer, one that is packed much more efficiently. This figure shows the basic layer that will be repeated throughout the entire ...

The simple cubic unit cell is delineated by eight atoms, which mark the actual cube. These are corner atoms, so each one only contributes one eighth of an atom to the unit cell, thus giving us only ...

It has a melting temperature of 660 C. The electronic configuration of Aluminum is (Ne)(3s) 2 (3p) 1, and it has an atomic radius of 0.143 nm. At room temperature Aluminum has the face-centered-cubic ...

Pure iron can have two different crystal structures as its temperature is increased from room temperature to its melting point. At room temperature it is body-centered cubic, between 912 and 1394 C if ...
