What is the crystal structure of boron carbide?
1. Basic structure of boron carbide
The crystal structure of boron carbide belongs to the hexagonal crystal system, with each unit cell containing two atoms: one carbon atom and one boron atom. Carbon atoms and boron atoms occupy different positions in the hexagonal lattice.
2. Crystal structure type of boron carbide
According to the different positions occupied by carbon atoms and boron atoms in the hexagonal lattice, boron carbide can be divided into two different types: C-B-C type and B-C-B type
