Crystal Structure
Crystal structures of intermetallic compounds change largely with the combination of constituent elements in them. For example, Nb3Al is a superconductor with the A15-type structure. This is a great contrast to metals and alloys having only a few crystal structures. The basic structure of a crystal structure is the unite cell.
