3–36Aluminum foil used to package food is approximately 0.001 inch thick. Assume that
all of the unit cells of the aluminum are arranged so that a
o
is perpendicular to the
foil surface. For a 4 in. ×4 in. square of the foil, determine (a) the total number of
unit cells in the foil and (b) the thickness of the foil in number of unit cells. (See
Appendix A)
Solution:The lattice parameter for aluminum is 4.04958 ×10
