2.5 Complex structures

Intermetallics- overview

Solid solutions: Example: Rb Cs 1-x BCC-structure, disordered
x
• chemically related

• small difference of electronegativity

• similar number of valence electrons

• similar atomic radius
• (high temperature)

Ordered structures: from complex building units to complex structures

Rule: complex structures

Exception:

simple structures

CuZn
