  2. Slip (materials science) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slip_(materials_science)

    Unit cell of an fcc material. Lattice configuration of the close packed slip plane in an fcc material. The arrow represents the Burgers vector in this dislocation glide system. Slip in face centered cubic (fcc) crystals occurs along the close packed plane. Specifically, the slip plane is of type , and the direction is of type < 1 10>.

  3. Cubic crystal system - Wikipedia

    [4] [5] The bcc and fcc, with their higher densities, are both quite common in nature. Examples of bcc include iron, chromium, tungsten, and niobium. Examples of fcc include aluminium, copper, gold and silver. Another important cubic crystal structure is the diamond cubic structure, which can appear in carbon, silicon, germanium, and tin.

  4. Stacking fault - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stacking_fault

    Comparison of fcc and hcp lattices, explaining the formation of stacking faults in close-packed crystals. In crystallography, a stacking fault is a planar defect that can occur in crystalline materials. [1] [2] Crystalline materials form repeating patterns of layers of atoms. Errors can occur in the sequence of these layers and are known as ...

  5. Close-packing of equal spheres - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Close-packing_of_equal_spheres

    The FCC and HCP packings are the densest known packings of equal spheres with the highest symmetry (smallest repeat units). Denser sphere packings are known, but they involve unequal sphere packing. A packing density of 1, filling space completely, requires non-spherical shapes, such as honeycombs.

  7. Stacking-fault energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stacking-fault_energy

    A stacking fault is an irregularity in the planar stacking sequence of atoms in a crystal – in FCC metals the normal stacking sequence is ABCABC etc., but if a stacking fault is introduced it may introduce an irregularity such as ABCBCABC into the normal stacking sequence. These irregularities carry a certain energy which is called the ...

  8. Atomic packing factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_packing_factor

    FCC structure. For a face-centered cubic unit cell, the number of atoms is four. A line can be drawn from the top corner of a cube diagonally to the bottom corner on the same side of the cube, which is equal to 4r. Using geometry, and the side length, a can be related to r as: =.
