What is the Bravais lattice formed by all lattice points which have the Cartesian
coordinates (x,y,z) such that
i) x,y and z are all even numbers
ii) x,y and z are either all even numbers or all odd numbers.
A metallic element has a density of 7.15 g cm−3, a lattice constant of 2.880 Å, and an
atomic weight of 51.9961. Calculate the number of atoms per unit cell of this element and
predict its lattice crystal structure.
In a one dimensional diatomic crystal, the velocity of sound is 1500 m/s and the lattice
constant 4.0Å. The relationship between the mass of the atoms is M/m = 0.8. Calculate
the gap in the frequency at the Brillouin zone boundary.
