    [citation needed] In a close-packed structure there are 4 atoms per unit cell and it will have 4 octahedral voids (1:1 ratio) and 8 tetrahedral voids (1:2 ratio) per unit cell. [1] The tetrahedral void is smaller in size and could fit an atom with a radius 0.225 times the size of the atoms making up the lattice.

    Voids are particularly galaxy-poor regions of space between filaments, making up the large-scale structure of the universe. Some voids are known as supervoids . In the tables, z is the cosmological redshift , c the speed of light , and h the dimensionless Hubble parameter , which has a value of approximately 0.7 (the Hubble constant H 0 = h × ...

    The distance between the centers along the shortest path namely that straight line will therefore be r 1 + r 2 where r 1 is the radius of the first sphere and r 2 is the radius of the second. In close packing all of the spheres share a common radius, r. Therefore, two centers would simply have a distance 2r.

    The central angle between any two vertices of a perfect tetrahedron is arccos(− ⁠ 1 / 3 ⁠), or approximately 109.47°. [39] Water, H 2 O, also has a tetrahedral structure, with two hydrogen atoms and two lone pairs of electrons around the central oxygen atoms. Its tetrahedral symmetry is not perfect, however, because the lone pairs repel ...

    There are two ways to do this, which can be thought of as two notations which represent the same structure. In the usual so-called obverse setting, the additional lattice points are at coordinates ( 2 ⁄ 3 , 1 ⁄ 3 , 1 ⁄ 3 ) and ( 1 ⁄ 3 , 2 ⁄ 3 , 2 ⁄ 3 ), whereas in the alternative reverse setting they are at the coordinates ( 1 ⁄ 3 ...

    Molecular dynamics computer simulations indicate these two models are closely connected [15] Tetrahedral structural unit of silica (SiO 2), the basic building block of common glasses. Oxide glass components can be classified as network formers, intermediates, or network modifiers. [16]

  8. Kirkendall effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kirkendall_effect

    The Kirkendall effect is the motion of the interface between two metals that occurs due to the difference in diffusion rates of the metal atoms. The effect can be observed, for example, by placing insoluble markers at the interface between a pure metal and an alloy containing that metal, and heating to a temperature where atomic diffusion is reasonable for the given timescale; the boundary ...

  9. Interstitial defect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interstitial_defect

    In both of these very similar lattices there are two sorts of interstice, or hole: Two tetrahedral holes per metal atom, i.e. the hole is between four metal atoms; One octahedral hole per metal atom, i.e. the hole is between six metal atoms; It was suggested by early workers that: the metal lattice was relatively unaffected by the interstitial atom
