Aluminum (FCC) with atom radius of 0.1431nm.
Find the distance between aluminum lattice plane (100) and (111), and calculate the density of that planes.
Given that atomic radius , r = 0.1431 nm = 0.1431 x 10-9 m
For FCC,
edge length a = r (8)1/2 = 0.1431 x 10-9 m x (8)1/2 = 0.405 m
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Planar density of FCC (100) = 1/[4r2]
= 1/ [4 x (0.1431 x 10-9)2]
= 12.2 x 1018 m-2
Planar density of FCC (111) = 1/ [2r2(3)1/2]
= 1/ [2.(0.1431 x 10-9)2.(3)1/2]
= 14.1 x 1018 m-2
