A lattice constant, also known as a lattice parameter, is a fundamental geometric parameter in crystallography that describes the size and shape of a unit cell in a crystal lattice. The unit cell is the smallest repeating unit in space that, when translated in three dimensions, creates the entire crystal structure. The lattice constant defines the distances between atoms, ions, or molecules in the crystal and is critical for understanding material properties such as density, electronic behavior, and mechanical strength.
In a cubic crystal system, the lattice constant is typically represented by a single parameter, *a*, which
Lattice constants are experimentally determined using techniques such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), electron diffraction, or neutron
The value of a lattice constant varies depending on the material and its crystal structure. For instance,
