Show that the ideal c/a ratio (height of unit cell divided by edge length) for the HCP unit cell is 1.633. (You may wish to refer to Exercise E.2 in the text page GL 1-6) Comment on the fact that real HCP metals display c/a ratios varying from 1.58 (for Be) to 1.89 (Cd). The atomic radius of HCP Mg is 0.1605 nm. Find the lattice constants, c and a, the c/a ratio and theoretical density for Mg.
