  Ferrite (iron) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ferrite or alpha iron (α-Fe) is a materials science term for iron, or a solid solution with iron as the main constituent, with a body centred cubic crystal structure.
In pure iron, ferrite is stable below 910°C. Above this temperature the face-centered cubic form of iron, austenite (gamma-iron) is stable.
Only a very small amount of carbon can be dissolved in ferrite; the maximum solubility is about 0.02wt% at 723°C. This is because carbon dissolves in iron interstitially, with the carbon atoms being about twice the diameter of the interstitial "holes", so that each carbon atom is surrounded by a strong local strain field.

 Body Centred Cubic Structure
We use the centre of the atoms (or spheres) to represent the corners of the unit cell, and each of these atoms are shared by 8 unit cells.
Thus, the body diagonal has a length that is four times the radius of the atom, R.
The one in the centre of the cell entirely belong to the unit cell.

Within the simple cubic cell two other crystal planes are easily identified, the (110) (there will be a set of planes of this type with different orientations, of which the (101) and the (011) are the most obvious, but there are additional ones with negative indices), and the (111).
In the body centred and face centred cubic structures there are planes of atoms (marked in green) interleaving the (100) planes.
However, for the body centred cubic lattice the (100) planes are interleaved by an equivalent set at the halfway position.

A face-centred cubic crystal unit cell (diagram 2) consists of four atoms in total on the inside: an eighth of an atom on each of the eight corners and a half an atom on each face.
These three common cubic surfaces of the body-centred unit cell and the face-centred unit cell are shown in diagram 4.

 Iron and Its Interstitial Solid Solutions
Pure iron exists in two crystal forms, one body-centred cubic (bcc) (α-iron, ferrite) which remains stable from low temperatures up to 910°C (the A3 point), when it transforms to a face-centred cubic (fcc) form (γ-iron, austenite).
The largest cavities in the bcc structure are the tetrahedral holes existing between two edge and two central atoms in the structure, which together form a tetrahedron.
The transition from ε-iron carbide to cementite is difficult to study, but it appears to occur by nucleation of cementite at the ε-carbide/α interlaces, followed by re-solution of the metastable ε-carbide precipitate.

 Packing in three dimensions
A body centred cubic unit cell can be formed by displacing the corner spheres so that contact is only maintained to the central sphere.

The discontinuous liquid-solid transition and the distinct bcc phase over a wide range of concentrations are not observed for true star polymers.
The difference is perhaps due to the adjustment of the number of arms in the case of close packed polymeric micelles.
It is clear that the liquid-solid transition occurs at a higher temperature than the formation of the bcc phase, even though the cooling rate was much faster for the shear measurement.

In addition, as all reflections obey bcc extinction rules at 1.7 K, the configurational symmetry of the magnetic structure of Eu is bcc [3].
The former was described with the structural model obtained at 25 K, while for the latter, the magnetic moments of the twelve Eu sites in the unit cell were aligned in the same direction.
We note that for a cubic ferromagnet, the spin direction cannot be deduced for randomly oriented domains, as the same magnetic intensities result for any spin direction with respect to the crystallographic axes.
