Question

Consider a cube of body-centered cubic unit cell of edge length a. Now atom at the body centre can be viewed to be lying on the corner of another cube 2 . Find the volume common to cube 1 and cube 2 ., a 3 27, a 3 64, a 3 2 2, a 3 8

MARKS App · Accepted Answer

Volume of cube = a 3 , body centred atom can share to 8 such cubes. Hence volume common to cube 1 a n d 2 is one-eighth of its volume.
