Appendix 1. Basic Crystallography APPENDIX 1. BASIC CRYSTALLOGRAPHY Al.l Introduction external symmetry of the structure. The trans­ lational symmetry leads to the concept of a lattice In order to perform electron microscope studies it (an array of atoms at points in space with identical is necessary to understand the basic principles of surroundings). Arising from considerations of this crystallography set out below. type we arrive at fourteen distinct Bravais lattices, It is the regular arrangement of atoms in space figure Al.l. These fall into the seven fundamental which constitutes the distinguishing feature of the crystal classes listed in table Al.l. Most metals are crystalline state. These regular arrays, called either cubic, hexagonal or tetragonal in structure, crystal structures, which are characterised in see table Al.3. However, many non-metallic various different ways, give rise to the internal and materials have more complex structures. stmple body- centred face -centred cubtc (P) cubic (I) cubic(F) stmple body-centred stmple body-centred tetragana I tetragonal orthorhombic orthorhombiC (P) (I) (P) (I) base -centred face-centred rhombohedral hexagonal orthorhombic orthorhombic (R) (P) (C) (F) c stmple bose-centred tnCllniC monocltnic (P) monoclimc(C) (P) Figure Al.l The fourteen Bravais lattices 80 Practical Electron Microscopy Table Al.1 Crystallographic formulae for interplanar spacings, Crystal system Interplanar spacing of the (hkl) plane cubic a=b=c a.={J=y=90° tetragonal a=bioc a.={J=y=90° orthorhombic a # b # c a.={J=y=90° hexagonal a=bioc 1 4(h2 hk k2 12 = 3a2 l a. = {J = 90°; y = 120° d2 + + ) + C2 2 rhombohedral a = b = c 1 (1 + cos a.){(h2 + k2 + 12) - (1 - tan !aXhk + kl + lh)} a. = {J = y < 120° # 90° d2 = Q2 1 + cos a. - 2 cos2 a. monoclinic aiobioc a.=y=90°#{J triclinic 2 2 : 2 = ~2 (s11h + s22kl + s331 + 2s 12hk + 2s23kl + 2s33lh) where V 2 = a2b2c2(1 - cos2 a. - cos2 {J - cos2 y + 2 cos a. cos {J cos y) and s 11 = b2c2 sin2 a. s22 = a2c2 sin2 {J s33 = a2b2 sin2 y s12 = abc2(cos a. cos {J - cosy) s23 = a2bc(cos {J cos y - cos a.) s31 = ab2c(cos y cos a. - cos {J) Al.l Indexing Planes in the plane are afh, bfk and cfl.

Axes are chosen Formulae for the angles between different (hkl) defining a unit cell x, y and z at angles a, fJ and y planes in the fourteen Bravais lattices are given in with the unit translation distances a, b and c table Al.l. (figure Al.2(a)). A plane is defined in terms of its intercepts on these axes. For example, in figure A1.2(b) the Al.3 Indexing Lattice Diredions plane cuts the axes at a/h, bjk and cfl where h, k and l are the Miller indices of the plane. For any Bravais lattice, such as that shown in Thus, in figure A1.2(c), the plane cuts the axes figure A1.3, the direction OA has the indices [121], at unit translation distances in the x and y axes that is the path from 0 to A involves moving 1 unit and two translation distances in the z axis. The translation parallel to x, 2 parallel to y and 1 index of the plane is then OX/OX, OY/OY and parallel to z. The other directions [Oll] and [ITO] OZ/OW, that is llf which is rationalised to 221, are self-evident.

The planes are known as the zone of in table Al.l. planes and the long axis is the zone axis, z, given the symbol [UVW]. The zone indices for any pair of planes, that is (h'k'l') and (hkl) can be obtained A1.4 Plane Normals in the following way: In the cubic crystal system only the direction h k h k normal to the plane (hkl) has indices [hkl], for example [111] is the (111) plane normal. In all X X X h' k' l' h' k' l' other crystal systems this is not true and table A1.2 gives the formulae for determining the indices of that is U = kl' - k'l, V = lh' - l'h, W = hk' - h'k. the directions [ uvw] normal to the plane (hkl) and This is the cross product between plane indices or vice versa. the directions of the plane normal. 82 Practical Electron Microscopy z c y X Figure A1.3 Crystal directions, OA is [121] If it is necessary to find out if a plane (hkl) lies in a zone [UVW] then the condition is X (a) hU + kV + IW = 0 and this is called the Weiss zone law. This is z essentially the condition that the normal to the plane (hkl) is perpendicular to [UVW] direction. Notation is as follows: (111) means single set of parallel planes {111} means equivalent planes of the type, that is (111), (ll1), etc. [111] means a single zone axis or direction ( 111) means directions of equivalent type A1.6 Stereograpbic Projection Although other methods of projection of the three­ dimensional crystal into two dimensions exist, the stereographic projection is the most common way of describing crystals. This is because the projection X preserves angular truth. The advantage of working (b) with the stereographic projection lies in the ease and rapidity of performing those crystallographic z analyses necessary in the electron microscope. Imagine a crystal at the centre of a sphere, see figure A1.4, with plane normals drawn from the centre of the sphere to its surface. In figure Al.5, one of these plane normals P is shown projected into the equatorial plane about the south pole of the sphere. Normally only those planes above the equator are projected. For planes underneath, the north pole is used as the projection point, indicated by open circles in the projection. The stereographic projection of the cubic crystal in figure A1.4 with [001] parallel to the south-north direction SN and [010] parallel to OD, is shown in figure A1.6, .each point being indexed as the normal to a particular plane. Standard projections for cubic crystal structures are shown in figure Al.12 with different planes X (c) in the centre of the stereogram. It is necessary to be able to measure the angles Figure A1.2 (a) The axes x, y, z defining the unit cell (dashed lines).

    I`mt`qx1/00Lhmdq`knesgdLnmsg9Rbnkdbhsd This month’s mineral, scolecite, is an uncommon zeolite from India. Our write-up explains its origin as a secondary mineral in volcanic host rocks, the difficulty of collecting this fragile mineral, the unusual properties of the zeolite-group minerals, and why mineralogists recently revised the system of zeolite classification and nomenclature. OVERVIEW PHYSICAL PROPERTIES Chemistry: Ca(Al2Si3O10)A3H2O Hydrous Calcium Aluminum Silicate (Hydrous Calcium Aluminosilicate), usually containing some potassium and sodium. Class: Silicates Subclass: Tectosilicates Group: Zeolites Crystal System: Monoclinic Crystal Habits: Usually as radiating sprays or clusters of thin, acicular crystals or Hairlike fibers; crystals are often flattened with tetragonal cross sections, lengthwise striations, and slanted terminations; also massive and fibrous. Twinning common. Color: Usually colorless, white, gray; rarely brown, pink, or yellow. Luster: Vitreous to silky Transparency: Transparent to translucent Streak: White Cleavage: Perfect in one direction Fracture: Uneven, brittle Hardness: 5.0-5.5 Specific Gravity: 2.16-2.40 (average 2.25) Figure 1. Scolecite. Luminescence: Often fluoresces yellow or brown in ultraviolet light. Refractive Index: 1.507-1.521 Distinctive Features and Tests: Best field-identification marks are acicular crystal habit; vitreous-to-silky luster; very low density; and association with other zeolite-group minerals, especially the closely- related minerals natrolite [Na2(Al2Si3O10)A2H2O] and mesolite [Na2Ca2(Al6Si9O30)A8H2O]. Laboratory tests are often needed to distinguish scolecite from other zeolite minerals. Dana Classification Number: 77.1.5.5 NAME The name “scolecite,” pronounced SKO-leh-site, is derived from the German Skolezit, which comes from the Greek sklx, meaning “worm,” an allusion to the tendency of its acicular crystals to curl when heated and dehydrated.

  • Types of Lattices
    Types of Lattices Types of Lattices Lattices are either: 1. Primitive (or Simple): one lattice point per unit cell. 2. Non-primitive, (or Multiple) e.g. double, triple, etc.: more than one lattice point per unit cell. Double r2 cell r1 r2 Triple r1 cell r2 r1 Primitive cell N + e 4 Ne = number of lattice points on cell edges (shared by 4 cells) •When repeated by successive translations e =edge reproduce periodic pattern. •Multiple cells are usually selected to make obvious the higher symmetry (usually rotational symmetry) that is possessed by the 1 lattice, which may not be immediately evident from primitive cell. Lattice Points- Review 2 Arrangement of Lattice Points 3 Arrangement of Lattice Points (continued) •These are known as the basis vectors, which we will come back to. •These are not translation vectors (R) since they have non- integer values. The complexity of the system depends upon the symmetry requirements (is it lost or maintained?) by applying the symmetry operations (rotation, reflection, inversion and translation). 4 The Five 2-D Bravais Lattices •From the previous definitions of the four 2-D and seven 3-D crystal systems, we know that there are four and seven primitive unit cells (with 1 lattice point/unit cell), respectively. •We can then ask: can we add additional lattice points to the primitive lattices (or nets), in such a way that we still have a lattice (net) belonging to the same crystal system (with symmetry requirements)? •First illustrate this for 2-D nets, where we know that the surroundings of each lattice point must be identical.

  • Space Symmetry, Space Groups
    Space symmetry, Space groups - Space groups are the product of possible combinations of symmetry operations including translations. - There exist 230 different space groups in 3-dimensional space - Comparing to point groups, space groups have 2 more symmetry operations (table 1). These operations include translations. Therefore they describe not only the lattice but also the crystal structure.

The open-circuit voltage was increased by CuBr2 addition to the CH3NH3PbI3ÀdCld precursor solution. The series resistance was decreased by simultaneous addition of CuBr2 and RbI, which increased the external quantum efficiencies in the range of 300–500 nm, and the short-circuit current density. The energy gap of the perovskite crystal increased through CuBr2 addition, which we also confirmed by first-principles calculations.

  • Apophyllite-(Kf)
    December 2013 Mineral of the Month APOPHYLLITE-(KF) Apophyllite-(KF) is a complex mineral with the unusual tendency to “leaf apart” when heated. It is a favorite among collectors because of its extraordinary transparency, bright luster, well- developed crystal habits, and occurrence in composite specimens with various zeolite minerals. OVERVIEW PHYSICAL PROPERTIES Chemistry: KCa4Si8O20(F,OH)·8H20 Basic Hydrous Potassium Calcium Fluorosilicate (Basic Potassium Calcium Silicate Fluoride Hydrate), often containing some sodium and trace amounts of iron and nickel. Class: Silicates Subclass: Phyllosilicates (Sheet Silicates) Group: Apophyllite Crystal System: Tetragonal Crystal Habits: Usually well-formed, cube-like or tabular crystals with rectangular, longitudinally striated prisms, square cross sections, and steep, diamond-shaped, pyramidal termination faces; pseudo-cubic prisms usually have flat terminations with beveled, distinctly triangular corners; also granular, lamellar, and compact. Color: Usually colorless or white; sometimes pale shades of green; occasionally pale shades of yellow, red, blue, or violet. Luster: Vitreous to pearly on crystal faces, pearly on cleavage surfaces with occasional iridescence. Transparency: Transparent to translucent Streak: White Cleavage: Perfect in one direction Fracture: Uneven, brittle. Hardness: 4.5-5.0 Specific Gravity: 2.3-2.4 Luminescence: Often fluoresces pale yellow-green. Refractive Index: 1.535-1.537 Distinctive Features and Tests: Pseudo-cubic crystals with pearly luster on cleavage surfaces; longitudinal striations; and occurrence as a secondary mineral in association with various zeolite minerals. Laboratory analysis is necessary to differentiate apophyllite-(KF) from closely-related apophyllite-(KOH). Can be confused with such zeolite minerals as stilbite-Ca [hydrous calcium sodium potassium aluminum silicate, Ca0.5,K,Na)9(Al9Si27O72)·28H2O], which forms tabular, wheat-sheaf-like, monoclinic crystals.

    Crystal Directions, Wave Propagation and Miller Indices D. K. Ferry, D. Vasileska and G. Klimeck Crystal Directions; Wave Propagation Electron beam generated pattern in TEM (001) (110) Crystal Directions We have referred to various directions in the crystal as (100), (110), and (111). What do these mean? How are these directions determined? Consider a cube- 1 and a plane- 2/3 1/2 The plane has intercepts: x = 0.5a, y = 0.667a, z = a. Crystal Directions We want the NORMAL to the surface. So we take these intercepts (in units of a), and invert them: 1 2 3 , ,1 2, ,1 2 3 2 Then we take the lowest common set of integers: 1 2 3 , ,1 2, ,1 4,3,2 2 3 2 These are the MILLER INDICES of the plane. The NORMAL to the plane is the (4,3,2) direction, which is normally written just (432). (A negative number is indicated by a bar over the top of the number.)

What are the normals to the plane? x The intercepts are -1, 1, , which leads to 110 z The normal direction is ˆ ˆ x y 110 y x -1 -1 The intercepts are 1, -1, , which leads to 1 10 The normal direction is ˆ ˆ x y 11 0 We can easily shift the planes by one lattice vector in x or y z y x -1 -1 These are two different normals to the same plane.

  • An Atomistic Study of Phase Transition in Cubic Diamond Si Single Crystal T Subjected to Static Compression ⁎ Dipak Prasad, Nilanjan Mitra
    Computational Materials Science 156 (2019) 232–240 Contents lists available at ScienceDirect Computational Materials Science journal homepage: www.elsevier.com/locate/commatsci An atomistic study of phase transition in cubic diamond Si single crystal T subjected to static compression ⁎ Dipak Prasad, Nilanjan Mitra Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur, Kharagpur 721302, India ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT Keywords: It is been widely experimentally reported that Si under static compression (typically in a Diamond Anvil Setup- Molecular dynamics DAC) undergoes different phase transitions. Even though numerous interatomic potentials are used fornu- Phase transition merical studies of Si under different loading conditions, the efficacy of different available interatomic potentials Hydrostatic and Uniaxial compressive loading in determining the phase transition behavior in a simulation environment similar to that of DAC has not been Cubic diamond single crystal Silicon probed in literature which this manuscript addresses. Hydrostatic compression of Silicon using seven different interatomic potentials demonstrates that Tersoff(T0) performed better as compared to other potentials with regards to demonstration of phase transition. Using this Tersoff(T0) interatomic potential, molecular dynamics simulation of cubic diamond single crystal silicon has been carried out along different directions under uniaxial stress condition to determine anisotropy of the samples, if any. -tin phase could be observed for the [001] direction loading whereas Imma along with -tin phase could be observed for [011] and [111] direction loading. Amorphization is also observed for [011] direction. The results obtained in the study are based on rigorous X-ray diffraction analysis. No strain rate effects could be observed for the uniaxial loading conditions. 1. Introduction potential(SW) [19,20] for their simulations.
