CRYSTAL PHYSICS PH 0101 UNIT 4 LECTURE 6 * PH0101 UNIT 4 LECTURE 6 RELATION BETWEEN LATTICE CONSTANT AND DENSITY DIAMOND CUBIC STRUCTURE PROBLEMS RELATION BETWEEN LATTICE CONSTANT AND DENSITY Consider a cubic crystal of lattice constant ‘a’. Density of the crystal = ρ Volume of the unit cell = V = a3 Number of atoms per unit cell = n Atomic weight of the material = M Avagadro number = N RELATION BETWEEN LATTICE CONSTANT AND DENSITY In M gram of material there are ‘N’ atoms i.e., mass of N atoms is ‘M’ g
