Objective today: How do atoms arrange themselves ? Why is symmetry important ?
Why do atoms break symmetry?

Van Der Waals Bonding
How do they bond?
NCSU
• bond length, r
• bond energy, Eo
• melting temperature, Tm
Tm is larger if Eo is larger.
What properties does that imply?

Summary: Primary Bonds
secondary bonding
NCSU
• Non dense, random packing
• Dense, regular packing
Dense, regular-packed structures tend to have lower energy.

• atoms pack in periodic, 3D arrays• typical of:
Crystalline materials...
-metals-many ceramics-some polymers
• atoms have no periodic packing• occurs for:
Noncrystalline materials...
-complex structures-rapid cooling
Si Oxygen
crystalline SiO2
noncrystalline SiO2"Amorphous" = Noncrystalline
Materials And Packing
NCSU
• tend to be densely packed.
• have several reasons for dense packing:-Typically, only one element is present, so all atomic radii are the same.-Metallic bonding is not directional.-Nearest neighbor distances tend to be small in order to lower bond energy.
• have the simplest crystal structures.
We will look at three such structures...
Metallic Crystals
NCSU
• rare due to poor packing (only Po has this structure)• close-packed directions are cube edges.
• Coordination # = 6 (# nearest neighbors)
Simple Cubic Structure (sc)
NCSU
• Coordination # = 8
• Close packed directions are cube diagonals.--Note: All atoms are identical; the center atom is shaded differently only for ease of viewing.
Body Centered Cubic Structure (bcc)
NCSU
• Coordination # = 12
• Close packed directions are face diagonals.--Note: All atoms are identical; the face-centered atoms are shaded differently only for ease of viewing.

Why? Metals have... • close-packing (metallic bonding) • large atomic mass Ceramics have... • less dense packing (covalent bonding) • often lighter elements Polymers have... • poor packing (often amorphous) • lighter elements (C,H,O) Composites have... • intermediate values

NCSU
• Some engineering applications require single crystals:
• Crystal properties reveal features of atomic structure.
--Ex: Certain crystal planes in quartz fracture more easily than others.
--diamond single crystals for abrasives
--turbine blades
Crystals as Building Blocks
NCSU
• Most engineering materials are polycrystals.
• Nb-Hf-W plate with an electron beam weld.• Each "grain" is a single crystal.• If crystals are randomly oriented, overall component properties are not directional.• Crystal sizes typ. range from 1 nm to 2 cm (i.e., from a few to millions of atomic layers).

POLYCRYSTALS
NCSU
• Single Crystals-properties vary with direction: anisotropic.
-example: the modulus of elasticity (E) in bcc iron:
• Polycrystals
-properties may/may not vary with direction.-if grains are randomly oriented: isotropic. (Epoly iron = 210 GPa)-if grains are textured, anisotropic.

Single vs Polycrystals
E (diagonal) = 273 GPa
E (edge) = 125 GPa

STEM at ORNL
This STEM provides the smallest beam in the world.
It uses the brightest sourcein the universe,1000 times brighter thana supernova.
NCSU
Why?
• before deformation • after tensile elongation
slip steps
That is what happens when pulling wires.
Dislocation move, more dislocation get generated and entangle (interact) with themselfs, and other defects.
NCSU
• Dislocations slip planes incrementally...• The dislocation line (the moving red dot)... ...separates slipped material on the left from unslipped material on the right.
Simulation of dislocationmotion from left to rightas a crystal is sheared.
Incremental Slip

NCSU
• Dislocation motion requires the successive bumping of a half plane of atoms (from left to right here).• Bonds across the slipping planes are broken and remade in succession.

• Vacancies:-vacant atomic sites in a structure.

• Self-Interstitials:-"extra" atoms positioned between atomic sites.

Two outcomes if impurity (B) added to host (A):• Solid solution of B in A (i.e., random dist. of point defects)
• Solid solution of B in A plus particles of a new phase (usually for a larger amount of B)
OR
Substitutional alloy(e.g., Cu in Ni)
Interstitial alloy(e.g., C in Fe)
Second phase particle--different composition--often different structure.
