Crystal Structures of Metallic Elements and Compounds

Walter Steurer Laboratory of Crystallography, ETH Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland

Abstract

Besides reviewing the most frequent structure types as well as those of technologically and commercially important materials, we will illustrate the major structural building principles on typical examples and underline interesting structural interrelationships wherever existing. We will exclusively discuss ideal structures of macroscopic single-crystalline elements and compounds in thermodynamic equilibrium and, consequently, will not deal with any size- or processing-related topics. First, some factors governing the formation of crystal structures, in general, are introduced. This is followed by a comprehensive discussion of the structures of the metallic elements and, subsequently, by a presentation of the most relevant (frequency, properties, didactical content) structure types of intermetallic phases. Finally, a few representative examples of the structures of quasicrystals will be given.

1.1. Introduction

Intelligent materials design depends on a deep understanding of the relationships between chemical composition, crystal structure and physical properties. Particularly, in case of multiphase materials, the microstructure, which strongly depends on processing parameters, can drastically modify physical properties provided by individual components. One also has to keep in mind that structure and properties of materials on the nanoscale can strongly differ from those on the macroscale due to size effects. However, in the present chapter, we will exclusively discuss ideal structures of macroscopic single-crystalline elements and compounds in thermodynamic equilibrium and, consequently, will not have to deal with any size- or processing-related topics.

Although only a very few technologically and commercially important materials consist of metallic elements in their (almost) pure form such as Cu, Au, Ag, Pd, Pt, etc., their crystal structures are of more than academic interest. Just to give an example, the crystal structure of a pure metal remains unchanged if it forms a solid solution (single-phase alloy) when one or several other elements are added for tuning or modifying its properties. This technique has been used since time immemorial by alloying gold with copper or silver, for instance, to make jewelry or coins more mechanically resistant. Especially, closest packed structures and their derivatives, typical for many metallic elements, are also characteristic for numerous materials consisting of multicomponent solid solutions.

Even though elements are chemically simpler model systems than intermetallic phases, their structures can be quite complex, mainly originating from intricate electronic interactions. Most elements are polymorphous, i.e. they adopt several different crystal structures as a function of ambient conditions (temperature, pressure, …). The understanding of the phase transformations in these homoatomic cases is not only of interest on its own but also very helpful for understanding in general why a phase with given chemical composition is adopting a particular crystal structure under given conditions.

The structural chemistry and crystallography of intermetallic phases is incredibly rich. More than 2000 different structure types are known, with the number of atoms per unit cell ranging between one and more than 20,000; in the case of aperiodic crystals such as incommensurate structures, composite crystals or quasicrystals (QCs), three-dimensional (3D) unit cells even do not exist at all. However, only a comparably small number of intermetallics have found so far important applications since their physical properties have rarely been studied in the past. Well known is the usage of some intermetallics as strengthening phases in precipitation hardening systems such as LiAl3 in Al–Li alloys or Ni3Al in superalloys (both of the cP4-AuCu3 type). There are also several intermetallic phases known that have important applications as functional materials such as cP8-Cr3Si (A15)-type structures as superconductors (Nb3Sn), cF24-Cu2Mg-type Laves phases as magnetostrictive materials (Terfenol D) or hP6-CaCu5-type structures as powerful permanent magnets (SmCo5).

Neither is it possible nor would it make sense to discuss all structure types of intermetallic phases in a similar way as we do for the metallic elements; their crystallographic data can be found in Pearson’s Handbook of Crystallographic Data for Intermetallic Phases (Villars and Calvert, 1991) or in the database Pearson’s Crystal Data (Villars and Cenzual, 2011), anyway. Besides reviewing the most frequent structure types as...
