Question

1. For the HCP crystal structure, show that
a) The volume of the unit cell is given by 6√3R²c.
b)
The relationship between "a" and "e" is given by 2 √ a = c.
c) The atomic packing factor is equal to 0.74. (
"a" and "c" represent the short and long unit cell dimensions of the HCP crystal structure,
respectively.

Expert Solution

Step 1

The HCP crystal lattice is shown as-

The hexagonal closed structure has 2 lattice parameters, namely "a" and "c". "a" is the distance between two touching atoms and "c" is also called height parameter.
