Principles of Formation of the Atomic Structure of Crystals

  • Chapter

Abstract

The atoms in crystals are in direct contact, and the interactions of their outer electron shells produce chemical bonding. The condition for the formation of a crystal structure is a sufficiently low temperature, so that the potential energy of attraction between atoms considerably exceeds the kinetic energy of their thermal motion. The diversity of structures of crystals is determined by their composition and by the individual chemical characteristics of their constituent atoms which define the nature of the chemical bond, the electron density distribution, and the geometric arrangement of the atoms within the unit cell. Many important characteristics of crystal structures — interatomic distances, coordination, etc. — can be described on the basis of the geometrical model in which the atoms are represented as rigid spheres of definite radii.
