A comprehensive lecture on the structure of crystalline solids, focusing on metals. It covers topics such as crystal structure, crystallographic points, directions, and planes, crystalline and non-crystalline materials, and metallic crystal structures like fcc, bcc, and hcp. The lecture also discusses atomic packing factor, density computation, and the relationship between crystallographic directions and planes to atomic linear and planar densities. Exercises and examples using matlab for calculations and visualizations.
