Single Crystals vs Polycrystals
BITS Pilani, Hyderabad Campus
CRYSTALS AS BUILDING BLOCKS
Single Crystal

Crystalline solid - Periodic and repeated
arrangements of atoms is perfect.

It exists in nature and also produced
artificially.
GARNET - Found in China
Some Engineering applications require single crystals
-- Diamond single crystals
for abrasives
-- Turbine blades
Electronic Microcircuits - Single Crystals of silicon and other semiconductors
BITS Pilani, Hyderabad Campus
GARNET - DIFFERENT FORMS
BITS Pilani, Hyderabad Campus
Single Crystals are Anisotropic in Nature
Example : Modulus of elasticity (E) in BCC iron
PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF THE MATERIAL DEPENDS ON THE
CRYSTALLOGRAPHIC DIRECTION
BITS Pilani, Hyderabad Campus
Polycrystalline Material


Most crystalline - Collection of many small crystals or
grains.

Isotropic in Nature - Grains are randomly oriented.
Engineering applications require Polycrystalline Material

Grains are well separated by the Grain Boundary
BITS Pilani, Hyderabad Campus
Single Crystals
- Properties vary with
direction: anisotropic.
- Example: the modulus
of elasticity (E) in BCC iron:
Polycrystals
- Properties may/may not
vary with direction.
- If grains are randomly
oriented: isotropic.
(E

= 210 GPa)
- If grains are textured,
anisotropic.

SCANNING TUNNELING MICROSCOPY
BITS Pilani, Hyderabad Campus
Fundamentals of crystalline solids
(Simple crystal structures of Metallic Materials)
We can predict the density of a material, provided we
know the atomic weight, atomic radius, and crystal
geometry
(e.g., FCC, BCC, HCP).
Material properties generally vary with single crystal
orientation (i.e., they are anisotropic).

Properties are generally non-directional (i.e., they are
isotropic) in polycrystals with randomly oriented grains.
