Crystalline Solids
We will deal with crystalline solids, that is solidswith an atomic structure based on a regularrepeated pattern.
Many important solids are crystalline.
More progress has been made in understanding thebehaviour of crystalline solids than that of non-crystalline materials since the calculation are easierin crystalline materials.

What is solid state physics?
Solid state physics, also known as condensed matterphysics, is the study of the behaviour of atoms whenthey are placed in close proximity to one another.
In fact, condensed matter physics is a much bettername, since many of the concepts relevant to solidsare also applied to liquids, for example.

What is the point?
Understanding the electrical properties of solids isright at the heart of modern society and technology.
The entire computer and electronics industry relieson tuning of a special class of material, thesemiconductor, which lies right at the metal-insulator boundary. Solid state physics provide abackground to understand what goes on insemiconductors.

Solid state physics (SSP)
is the applied physics
New technology for the future will inevitably involvedeveloping and understanding new classes ofmaterials. By the end of this course we will see whythis is a non-trivial task.
So, SSP is the applied physics associated withtechnology rather than interesting fundamentals.

Electrical resistivity of three
states of solid matter
How can this be? After all, they each contain a system ofatoms and especially electrons of similar density. And theplot thickens: graphite is a metal, diamond is an insulator andbuckminster-fullerene is a superconductor.
They are all just carbon!

Among our aims - understand why one is a metal and one an insulator, and then the physical origin of themarked features.
Also think about thermal properties etc. etc.

Gases
Gases have atoms or molecules that do not bond to one another in a range of pressure, temperature and volume.
These molecules haven�t any particular order
and move freely within a container.

Liquids and Liquid Crystals
Similar to gases, liquids haven�t any atomic/molecularorder and they assume the shape of the containers.
Applying low levels of thermal energy can easilybreak the existing weak bonds.
Liquid crystals have mobilemolecules, but a type of longrange order can exist; themolecules have a permanentdipole. Applying an electric fieldrotates the dipole and establishesorder within the collection ofmolecules.

Crytals
Solids consist of atoms or moleculesexecuting thermal motion about anequilibrium position fixed at a point in space.
Solids can take the form of crystalline,polycrstalline, or amorphous materials.
Solids (at a given temperature, pressure, andvolume) have stronger bonds betweenmolecules and atoms than liquids.
Solids require more energy to break thebonds.

Types of Solids
Single crsytal, polycrystalline, and amorphous, are the three general types of solids.
Each type is characterized by the size of ordered region within the material.
An ordered region is a spatial volume in which atoms or molecules have a regular geometric arrangement or periodicity.

Crystalline Solid Crystalline Solid is the solid form of a substance in
which the atoms or molecules are arranged ina definite, repeating pattern in three dimension.
Single crystals, ideally have a high degree of order, orregular geometric periodicity, throughout the entirevolume of the material.

Polycrystalline Solid
PolycrystallinePyrite form
(Grain)
Polycrystal is a material made up of an aggregate of many small single crystals(also called crystallites or grains).
Polycrystalline material have a high degree of order over many atomic or moleculardimensions.
These ordered regions, or single crytal regions, vary in size and orientation wrtone another.
These regions are called as grains ( domain) and are separated from one anotherby grain boundaries. The atomic order can vary from one domain to the next.
The grains are usually 100 nm - 100 microns in diameter. Polycrystals with grainsthat are <10 nm in diameter are called nanocrystalline

Amorphous Solid
Amorphous (Non-crystalline) Solid is composed of randomlyorientated atoms , ions, or molecules that do not form definedpatterns or lattice structures.
Amorphous materials have order only within a few atomic ormolecular dimensions.
Amorphous materials do not have any long-range order, but theyhave varying degrees of short-range order.
Examples to amorphous materials include amorphous silicon,plastics, and glasses.
Amorphous silicon can be used in solar cells and thin film transistors.

Departure From Perfect Crystal
Strictly speaking, one cannot prepare a perfect crystal. Forexample, even the surface of a crystal is a kind ofimperfection because the periodicity is interrupted there.
Another example concerns the thermal vibrations of the atomsaround their equilibrium positions for any temperature T>0°K.
As a third example, actualcrystal always contains someforeign atoms, i.e., impurities.These impurities spoils theperfect crystal structure.

Crystallography is essential for solid state physics
Symmetry of a crystal can have a profound influenceon its properties.
Any crystal structure should be specified completely,concisely and unambiguously.
Structures should be classified into different typesaccording to the symmetries they possess.

CRYSTAL LATTICE
What is crystal (space) lattice?
In crystallography, only the geometrical properties of thecrystal are of interest, therefore one replaces each atom bya geometrical point located at the equilibrium position ofthat atom.

Translational Lattice Vectors � 2D
A space lattice is a set of points suchthat a translation from any point in thelattice by a vector;
Rn = n1 a + n2 b
locates an exactly equivalent point,i.e. a point with the same environmentas P . This is translational symmetry.The vectors a, b are known as latticevectors and (n1, n2) is a pair ofintegers whose values depend on thelattice point.

The unit cell and, consequently,the entire lattice, is uniquelydetermined by the six latticeconstants: a, b, c, á, â and ã.
Only 1/8 of each lattice point in aunit cell can actually be assignedto that cell.

A primitive unit cell is made of primitivetranslation vectors a1 ,a2, and a3 suchthat there is no cell of smaller volumethat can be used as a building block forcrystal structures.
A primitive unit cell will fill space byrepetition of suitable crystal translationvectors. This defined by the parallelpipeda1, a2 and a3. The volume of a primitiveunit cell can be found by
V = a1.(a2 x a3) (vector products) Cubic cell volume = a3

Wigner-Seitz Method
A simply way to find the primitivecell which is called Wigner-Seitzcell can be done as follows;
1. Choose a lattice point.2. Draw lines to connect these
lattice point to its neighbours.3. At the mid-point and normal
to these lines draw newlines.
The volume enclosed is called as a Wigner-Seitz cell.

Crystal Directions
Fig. Shows [111] direction
We choose one lattice point on the lineas an origin, say the point O. Choice oforigin is completely arbitrary, sinceevery lattice point is identical.
Then we choose the lattice vectorjoining O to any point on the line, saypoint T. This vector can be written as;
R = n1 a + n2 b + n3c
To distinguish a lattice direction from alattice point, the triple is enclosed insquare brackets [ ...] is used.[n1n2n3]
[n1n2n3] is the smallest integer of thesame relative ratios.

Miller Indices
Miller Indices are a symbolic vector representation for the orientation ofan atomic plane in a crystal lattice and are defined as the reciprocals ofthe fractional intercepts which the plane makes with the crystallographicaxes.
To determine Miller indices of a plane, take the following steps;
1) Determine the intercepts of the plane along each of the three crystallographic directions
2) Take the reciprocals of the intercepts
3) If fractions result, multiply each by the denominator of the smallest fraction

Indices of a Family or Form
Sometimes when the unit cell has rotational symmetry,several nonparallel planes may be equivalent by virtue of thissymmetry, in which case it is convenient to lump all theseplanes in the same Miller Indices, but with curly brackets.
Thus indices {h,k,l} represent all the planes equivalent to theplane (hkl) through rotational symmetry.

Coordinatýon Number
Coordinatýon Number (CN) : The Bravais lattice pointsclosest to a given point are the nearest neighbours.
Because the Bravais lattice is periodic, all points havethe same number of nearest neighbours or coordinationnumber. It is a property of the lattice.
A simple cubic has coordination number 6; a body-centered cubic lattice, 8; and a face-centered cubiclattice,12.
