  2. Cubic crystal system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cubic_crystal_system

    This structure is often confused for a body-centered cubic structure because the arrangement of atoms is the same. However, the caesium chloride structure has a basis composed of two different atomic species. In a body-centered cubic structure, there would be translational symmetry along the [111] direction.

  3. Allotropes of iron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allotropes_of_iron

    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).

  4. Interstitial site - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interstitial_site

    A body-centered cubic unit cell has six octahedral voids located at the center of each face of the unit cell, and twelve further ones located at the midpoint of each edge of the same cell, for a total of six net octahedral voids.

  5. 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 ...

  6. Atomic packing factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_packing_factor

    The primitive unit cell for the body-centered cubic crystal structure contains several fractions taken from nine atoms (if the particles in the crystal are atoms): one on each corner of the cube and one atom in the center. Because the volume of each of the eight corner atoms is shared between eight adjacent cells, each BCC cell contains the ...

  7. Slip (materials science) - Wikipedia

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

    Slip in body-centered cubic (bcc) crystals occurs along the plane of shortest Burgers vector as well; however, unlike fcc, there are no truly close-packed planes in the bcc crystal structure. Thus, a slip system in bcc requires heat to activate.

  8. Wigner–Seitz cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wigner–Seitz_cell

    The Wigner–Seitz cell of the face-centered cubic lattice is a rhombic dodecahedron. [9] In mathematics, it is known as the rhombic dodecahedral honeycomb . The Wigner–Seitz cell of the body-centered tetragonal lattice that has lattice constants with c / a > 2 {\displaystyle c/a>{\sqrt {2}}} is the elongated dodecahedron .

  9. List of space groups - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_space_groups

    I body centered (from the German Innenzentriert) F face centered (from the German Flächenzentriert) A centered on A faces only; B centered on B faces only; C centered on C faces only; R rhombohedral; A reflection plane m within the point groups can be replaced by a glide plane, labeled as a, b, or c depending on which axis the glide is along.
