Key Topics

Difference Between Crystalline and Amorphous Solids

• Regular arrangement in crystalline solids, not in amorphous.
• Sharp melting point of crystalline solid.
• Crystalline: Anisotropic, Amorphous: Isotropic.

Unit Cell

• The smallest repeating structure, three types: SCC, BCC, FCC.
• SCC: 1 atom, BCC: 2 atoms, FCC: 4 atoms.

Packing Efficiency

• SCC: 52.36%
• BCC: 68%
• FCC: 74%

Defects

• Stoichiometric: vacancy, interstitial
• Impurity defects
• Non-stoichiometric: matter deficiency, matter excess

Electrical Properties

• Band gap between insulator, semiconductor, conductor.
• Formation of n-type and p-type semiconductors.

Special Notes

• Crystal systems: 7 types, 14 Bravais lattices.
• Pay attention to 1D, 2D, 3D in packing.
• Detailed coverage will be provided in the fast track batch.

Study Suggestions
