Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem of calculating the number of atoms in a cube-based unit cell with one atom on each corner and two atoms on each body diagonal, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Atoms at the Corners:** - A cube has 8 corners. - Each corner atom is shared by 8 adjacent unit cells. - Therefore, the contribution of each corner atom to the unit cell is \( \frac{1}{8} \). ...
