The effective number of lattice points in the unit cell of simple cubic, body centered cubic, and face centered cubic space lattices, respectively, are

  • A.1, 2, 2
  • B.1, 2, 4
  • C.2, 3, 4
  • D.2, 4, 4

Answer: B

The effective number of lattice points in the unit cell of
Simple cubic = (1/8) × 8 = 1
Body centred cubic = (1/8) × 8 +1 = 2
Face centred cubic = (1/8) × 8 + (1/2) × 6 = 4
