Question

c. Calculate the volume density of atoms (atoms/cm3 ) in a single crystal material having a body centered cubic (BCC) unit cell with lattice constant a=5A0 . A corner atom is shared by eight unit cells which meet at each corner so that each corner atom effectively contributes one-eighth of its volume to each unit cell.

Answer 1

Answer:

Atoms at adjacent corners of this unit cell contact each other, so the edge ... each simple cubic unit cell has one atom at each of its eight “corners,” ...
