Different structures
Simple cubic
- Ah (α-Po)
- Ah (α-Po)
- B2 (CsCl, B2-FeAl, β-NiAl)
Body-centered cubic
- A2 (α-Fe, Li, Na, K, V, Cr, Rb, Nb, Mo, Cs, Ba, Eu, Ta)
- Truncated octahedra are the Wigner-Seitz cells of the bcc lattice
Face-centered cubic
- Close-packed structure
- A1 (Cu, Al, γ-Fe)
- Interstitial sites for a face-centered cubic
- Same as before, but with another point of view
- B1 (NaCl, PbS, FeO)
- Tetrahedral fcc crystal
- Rhombic dodecahedra are the Wigner-Seitz cells of the fcc lattice
Crystal structures: triclinic - monoclinic - orthorhombic - hexagonal - rhombohedral - tetragonal - cubic
