The crystal structure of materials like metals, ceramics, polymers, and semiconductors
greatly influences their properties:
Metals:
In metals, crystal structure affects mechanical strength and conductivity. For example,
face-centered cubic (FCC) metals like aluminum offer high ductility, while body-centered
cubic (BCC) metals like iron are stronger but less ductile.
Ceramics:
Polymers:
Semiconductors:
Understanding these relationships helps tailor materials for specific applications and
engineer advanced functionalities.
