Rotate straight up until the two blue atoms are aligned north and south. These are the only two atoms remaining from the original layer (A). Continue rotating and you will see that you have only the ...

High-temperature austenite, an FCC structure, has enough space for carbon atoms to squeeze in between the iron atoms. Iron atoms keep their place on the lattice while carbon atoms become ...

The metallic atoms in an austenitic stainless steel are arranged on a face-centered cubic (fcc) lattice.

Germanium has the diamond cubic crystal structure shown, an fcc lattice with a basis of two germanium atoms, one at (0,0,0) and the other at (1/4, 1/4, 1/4) in units of the cube edge. It can also be ...

First we show the Mg atoms, which form an fcc aray, plus 4 more atoms inside the cube. Those 4 are circled in blue. Next we add the Aluminum atoms, connecting their tetrahedra. You'll notice that the ...
