  2. Cubic crystal system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cubic_crystal_system

    In the rock-salt structure, each of the two atom types forms a separate face-centered cubic lattice, with the two lattices interpenetrating so as to form a 3D checkerboard pattern. The rock-salt structure has octahedral coordination : Each atom's nearest neighbors consist of six atoms of the opposite type, positioned like the six vertices of a ...

  4. Periodic table (crystal structure) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periodic_table_(crystal...

    The Body centered cubic structure (BCC). It is not a close packed structure. In this each metal atom is at the centre of a cube with 8 nearest neighbors, however the 6 atoms at the centres of the adjacent cubes are only approximately 15% further away so the coordination number can therefore be considered to be 14 when these are on one 4 fold ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_structure

    This type of structural arrangement is known as cubic close packing (ccp). The unit cell of a ccp arrangement of atoms is the face-centered cubic (fcc) unit cell. This is not immediately obvious as the closely packed layers are parallel to the {111} planes of the fcc unit cell. There are four different orientations of the close-packed layers.

    BCC is body centered cubic and FCC is face-centered cubic. Iron-carbon eutectic phase diagram, showing various forms of Fe x C y substances. Iron allotropes, showing the differences in structure. The alpha iron (α-Fe) is a body-centered cubic (BCC) and the gamma iron (γ-Fe) is a face-centered cubic (FCC).

  7. Antitaenite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antitaenite

    Antitaenite is a meteoritic metal alloy mineral composed of iron (Fe) and 20–40% nickel (Ni), (and traces of other elements) that has a face centered cubic crystal structure. There are three other known Fe-Ni meteoritic minerals: kamacite, taenite, and tetrataenite.

  8. Fluorite structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluorite_structure

    The fluorite structure refers to a common motif for compounds with the formula MX 2. [1] [2] The X ions occupy the eight tetrahedral interstitial sites whereas M ions occupy the regular sites of a face-centered cubic (FCC) structure. Many compounds, notably the common mineral fluorite (CaF 2), adopt this structure.

    The beta allotrope (6.966 g/cm 3) exists at room temperature, and it has a face-centered cubic crystal structure. The high-temperature gamma allotrope (6.57 g/cm 3) has a body-centered cubic crystalline structure. [10] The alpha allotrope (6.903 g/cm 3) has a hexagonal crystalline structure and is stable at low temperatures. [12]
