Chemical Bonds in Ceramics Underlying many of the properties found in ceramics are the strong

primary bonds that hold the atoms together and form the ceramic i lmaterials.

These chemical bonds are of two types:

ionic in character, involving a transfer of bonding electrons from electropositive atoms (cations) to electronegative atoms e ect opos t ve ato s (cat o s) to e ect o egat ve ato s(anions), and

covalent in character involving orbital sharing of electrons covalent in character, involving orbital sharing of electrons between the constituent atoms or ions.

% i i h [1 ( 0 25{X X }2)] 100%% ionic character = [1 – exp(-0.25{Xa – Xb}2)] 100%

Xa and Xb are called electronegativity.

Chemical Bonding in Ceramics

Most of the primary chemical bonds found in ceramic materials are actually a mixture of ionic and covalent types.

It is therefore only a convenient (but quite successful) approximation to treat most ceramics as ionic solids.

Ionic bonds are non-directional in nature, that is the attractive forces occur form all directions.forces occur form all directions.

This non-directional nature allows for hard-sphere packing arrangements of the ions into a variety of crystal structures, with two limitations.

The first limitation involves the relative size of the anions and the

First Limitation

The first limitation involves the relative size of the anions and the cations.

Anions are usually larger and close-packed, similar to the face-centered cubic or hexagonal close-packed crystal structures found i t lin metals.

Cations on the other hand are usually smaller occupying space Cations, on the other hand, are usually smaller, occupying space (interstices) in the crystal lattice between/among the anions.

Second Limitation

The second limitation on the types of crystal structure that can be adopted by ionically bonded atoms is based on a law of physics -the crystal must remain electrical neutrality.

This law of electroneutrality results in the formation of very ifi t i hi t i i ifi ti f ti t i th tspecific stoichiometries; i.e, specific ratios of cations to anions that

maintain a net balance between positive and negative charges.

In fact, anions are known to pack around cations, and cations around anions, in order to eliminate local charge imbalance.

This phenomenon is referred to as coordination (number).

Crystal Structure in Ceramics C t l Pl Crystal Planes

Planes in a crystal can be specified b i i ll d Millby using a notation called Miller indices.

Miller indices were introduced in 1839 by the British mineralogist William Hallowes Miller (6 AprWilliam Hallowes Miller (6 Apr 1801 – 20 May 1880, British mineralogist and crystallographer).g y g p )

The Miller index is indicated by the notation [hkl] where h, k, and l are [ ] , ,reciprocals of the plane with the x, y, and z axes.

28

Page 29: MS3001 Ceramics 02 Crystal(6)

Crystal Structure in Ceramics C t l Pl Crystal Planes

To obtain the Miller indices of a given plane requires the following ffour steps:

Step 1. The plane in question is placed on a unit cell. p p q p

Step 2. Its intercepts with each of the crystal axes are then foundfound.

Step 3. The reciprocal of the intercepts are taken.

Step 4. These are multiplied by a scalar to insure that is in the simple ratio of whole numbers.

Spinel Structure

Spinel structure is named after the mineral spinel (MgAl2O4).

Brief Summary

p p ( g 2 4)

Their general formula is AB2O4.

It i ti ll bi ith O2 i f i f (f t It is essentially cubic, with O2- ions forming a fcc (face center cubic) lattice.

Th ti ( ll t l ) 1/8 f th t t h d l it d The cations (usually metals) occupy 1/8 of the tetrahedral sites and 1/2 of the octahedral sites and there are 32 O2- ions in the unit cell.

Thi d li d b i i b d i ld b l k This sounds complicated, but it is not as bad as it could be; look at the drawing.

We “simply” have two types of cubic building units inside a big fccO-ion lattice, filling all 8 octants.

Determination of Crystal Structures X-Ray Diffraction - XRD

XRD can be used to text powder, bulk, thin film samples.

Diffraction patterns are obtained after a scanning over a certain range of angles.

The patterns are used to identify the crystal structure of the samples tested.

Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM)

p

TEM samples for powders are made by dispersing the powders in a certain liquid and then deposit on sample holder.

Preparation of bulk samples is a challenging work.

TEM can be used to observe sample morphology and determine

SummaryMost of the primary chemical bonds found in ceramic materials are

actually a mixture of ionic and covalent types.

Crystal structures of ceramics with predominantly ionic bonding are based on:

The relative sizes of the cations and anions - cation tends to have maximum possible number of anion nearest neighbors and vice-versa.

Magnitude of the electrical charge on each ion, whose balance g gdictates chemical formula.

X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) are powerful tools to examine crystal structures of ceramics.
