MIME260 Winter 2014 Assignment #1, 01/15/2014 The due date is Monday (Jan 20) Lecture. Please hand in your assignments to me at the beginning of the class. 1. The atomic bonding in materials A and B are described by the following two Lennard- Jones potentials respectively: (a) BA(r) = Sabot — nest (b) 28(r) = LS — Atha where the energy is in the unit of eV and distance in the unit of A. Answer the following questions (please give essential derivation /reasoning steps): (i) Wh likely to have a higher elastic (Young's) modulus? ikely to have a higher melting temperature? 2. Consider three materials: CsCl, Boron-nitride and Brass: (i) For each material, list the type(s) of primary atomic bonding expected; (ii) Which material(s) exhibits direetional atomic bonding?
