This single layer is the precursor of the body centered cubic (BCC) unit cell. The lattice points are in the same general form as the simple cubic (SC) unit cell, with the exception that the atoms are ...

Pure iron can have two different crystal structures as its temperature is increased from room temperature to its melting point. At room temperature it is body-centered cubic, between 912 and 1394 C if ...

The electronic configuration of Aluminum is (Ne)(3s) 2 (3p) 1, and it has an atomic radius of 0.143 nm. At room temperature Aluminum has the face-centered-cubic crystal structure with a basis of one ...
