Atoms, arranged in repetitive 3-dimensional pattern -give rise to crystal structure .
Properties of solids materials of engineering importancedepends upon crystal structure and bonding force . An imaginary network of lines, with atoms at intersection
of lines, representing the arrangement of atoms is calledspace lattice .
Unit cell is that block of atoms which repeats itself toform space lattice.

Principal Metallic Crystal Structures 90% of the metals have either Body Centered Cubic (BCC), Face
Centered Cubic (FCC) or Hexagonal Close Packed (HCP) crystalstructure.
HCP is denser version of simple hexagonal crystal structure. Most metals crystallize into HCP, atoms are closer and bond
tighter. Thus, lower energy and more stable.

Atom Positions in Cubic Unit Cells Cartesian coordinate system is use to locate atoms.
In a cubic unit celly axis is the direction to the right .x axis is the direction coming out of the paper.z axis is the direction towards top.Negative directions are to the opposite of positivedirections.
Atom positions are located using unit distances along theaxes.

direction vector emerges from cell surface, converted to integers.Example (1,0,0)

Properties of crystalline materials often related to their crystal structure. Single crystal the repeated unit cell is perfect throughout the
material. Some engineering applications require single crystals:-- diamond single
crystals for abrasives or turbine blade.
However, most crystalline solids are made up of small crystals ( grains ). Thisis called polycrystalline materials.

Atoms may assemble intocrystalline or amorphous structures.
We can predict the density of a material, provided we know theatomic weight , atomic radius , and crystal geometry (e.g., FCC,BCC, HCP).
SUMMARY
Common metallic crystal structures areFCC , BCC , and HCP.Coordination number and atomic packing factor are the samefor both FCC and HCP crystal structures.
Crystallographic points , directions and planes are specified interms of indexing schemes. Crystallographic directions andplanes are related to atomic linear densities and planar densities .
Ceramic crystal structures are based on:-- maintaining charge neutrality
-- cation-anion radii ratios.
Interatomic bonding in ceramics is ionic and/or covalent.

Some materials can have more than one crystalstructure. This is referred to as polymorphism (orallotropy ).
SUMMARY
Materials can be single crystals or polycrystalline .Material properties generally vary with single crystalorientation (i.e., they are anisotropic ), but are generallynon-directional (i.e., they are isotropic ) in polycrystalswith randomly oriented grains.
X-ray diffraction is used for crystal structure andinterplanar spacing determinations.
