  2. Interstitial site - Wikipedia

    [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.

  3. Close-packing of equal spheres - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Close-packing_of_equal_spheres

    Six spheres surround an octahedral voids with three spheres coming from one layer and three spheres coming from the next layer. Structures of many simple chemical compounds, for instance, are often described in terms of small atoms occupying tetrahedral or octahedral holes in closed-packed systems that are formed from larger atoms.

  4. Pancreatic polypeptide cells - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pancreatic_polypeptide_cells

    Pancreatic polypeptide cells (PP cells), or formerly as gamma cells (γ-cells), or F cells, are cells in the pancreatic islets (Islets of Langerhans) of the pancreas. Their main role is to help synthesize and regulate the release of pancreatic polypeptide (PP) , after which they have been named.

  5. Cation-anion radius ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cation-anion_radius_ratio

    This diagram is for octahedral interstices (coordination number six): 4 anions in the plane shown, 1 above the plane and 1 below. The stability limit is at r C /r A = 0.414. The radius ratio rule defines a critical radius ratio for different crystal structures, based on their coordination geometry. [1]

  6. Tetrahedral-octahedral honeycomb - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetrahedral-octahedral...

    The tetrahedral-octahedral honeycomb can have its symmetry doubled by placing tetrahedra on the octahedral cells, creating a nonuniform honeycomb consisting of tetrahedra and octahedra (as triangular antiprisms). Its vertex figure is an order-3 truncated triakis tetrahedron.

  7. Cubic crystal system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cubic_crystal_system

    A network model of a primitive cubic system The primitive and cubic close-packed (also known as face-centered cubic) unit cells In crystallography , the cubic (or isometric ) crystal system is a crystal system where the unit cell is in the shape of a cube .

  8. Monoclinic crystal system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monoclinic_crystal_system

    For the base-centered monoclinic lattice, the primitive cell has the shape of an oblique rhombic prism; [1] it can be constructed because the two-dimensional centered rectangular base layer can also be described with primitive rhombic axes.

  9. 24-cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/24-cell

    Net. In four-dimensional geometry, the 24-cell is the convex regular 4-polytope [1] (four-dimensional analogue of a Platonic solid) with Schläfli symbol {3,4,3}. It is also called C 24, or the icositetrachoron, [2] octaplex (short for "octahedral complex"), icosatetrahedroid, [3] octacube, hyper-diamond or polyoctahedron, being constructed of octahedral cells.
