What is nanotechnology?
Nanotechnology refers to the branch of science and engineering devoted to

designing, producing, and using structures, devices, and systems by
manipulating atoms and molecules at nanoscale, i.e. having one or more
dimensions of the order of 100 nanometres (100 millionth of a millimetre) or less
Materials & lifestyle
Make a list of materials which were
Available to ancient people for use
MM101 develops your skills and knowledge for

the production and manipulating of materials and basic
concepts of nanotechnology so that
the properties of materials can be improved
Low Carbon Steels

Kinetic and Potential energies
In this course we will focus on solids only
Specifically
Crystalline Solids
Crystalline & Amorphous solids
(six of them: three angles and three sides )

Structure at various levels
Tin transform from one crystal from to another
undergoing 27 % volume change
Most common crystal structures
❑ most metals and many

other solids have unit cell
structures described as
body center cubic (bcc),
face centered cubic (fcc) or
Hexagonal Close Packed
(hcp).
How to locate:
In unit cubic cell
points,
directions
planes
Generalized coordinates q, r, s &
side lengths a, b, c of unit cell.
Distance along x = q.a
along y = r.b
along z = s.c
Locate the point
q= ¼
r=1
s=½
in the unit cell at the left
Along X→ q . a= 1/4 x 0.48

Along Y→ r . b= 1 x 0.46
Along Z→ s .c = 1/2 x 0.40
Locate atoms (points )
in the BCC unit cell
A two-dimensional lattice with
crystal planes
Miller indices: group of three numbers

that indicates the orientation of a plane
or set of parallel planes of atoms in a
crystal.
Crystallographic Directions
Crystallographic
Directions ( vectors )
The vector is
positioned such that
it starts from the
origin
( if it already doesn’t )
Use square brackets only

Crystallographic Directions
1. Position vector through the
origin ( translate if necessary )
2. Measure its projections along
x, y, z & divide by a, b, c
3. Convert values from step 2
into smallest whole numbers
4. Write whole numbers from
step 3 as [uvw]
Note: Hexagonal crystals are not in course
For cubic Crystals:
Equivalent Directions are defined
[100], [100], [010], [010], [001], [001] are all equivalent directions
because atoms are spaced in the same way.

We write set of equivalent directions as: ‹100›
Crystallographic planes and determination of Millar Indices
1. If the plane passes through the origin: shift the plane or origin
2. Find intercepts in terms of a, b, c ( plane cuts or contains an axis )
3. Take reciprocal of intercepts
4. Change intercepts into smallest whole numbers, if necessary
5. Write them as: (hkl)
Plane not passing through the origin
Plane passing through the origin

1/3a 2/3b 1c

Equivalent Planes: In cubic crystals
(111), (111), (111), (111) , (111), (111), (111), (111)
are all equivalent in the sense that they have the

same atomic arrangement on them: set {111}
