oter. The open circles represent atoms in the lattice that are generated whe the Struture is translated to the right or left, one lattice constant , a, Figure 1.16b repre-sents the top half of the diamond structure. The top half again consists of two tetrahe-dral stuctures joined digonally, but which are at 900 with respect to the bottom-half diagonal. An important characteristic of the diamon lattice is that any atomwithin the diamond structure will hare four nearest neighboring atoms. We will note this characterisc again in our discussion of atomic bonding in Section 1.4. The diamind structure refers to the partixular lattice in which all atoms are of the Same species, such as silicon or germanium. The zincblende(sphalerite) strure differs from the diamond structure only in that there are two different types of atoms in the lattice. Compound semiconductors, such as gallium arsenide, haye the zinc-blende structure shown in Figure 1.17. The important feature of both the diamond and the zincblende structures is that the atoms are joined together to form a teteahe-aron. Figure 1.18 shows the basic tetrahedral structure of GaAs in which each Ga atom has four nearest As neighbors and each As atom has four nearest Ga neighbors.This figure also begins to show the interpenetration of two sublattices that can be used to generate the diamond or zincblende lattice.
