Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the unit cell of a diamond structure? (2022)
  • Step 1: Understand that a unit cell is the smallest repeating unit in a crystal structure.
  • Step 2: Recognize that the diamond structure is a type of crystal structure.
  • Step 3: Identify that the diamond structure is based on a face-centered cubic (FCC) arrangement.
  • Step 4: Know that in the diamond structure, carbon atoms are arranged in a specific way within the FCC unit cell.
  • Step 5: Visualize that there are 8 carbon atoms in the diamond unit cell, with each atom positioned at specific coordinates.
