  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

    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 two colors of spheres represent the two types of atoms. One structure is the "interpenetrating primitive cubic" structure, also called a "caesium chloride" or B2 structure. This structure is often confused for a body-centered cubic structure because the arrangement of atoms is the same.

  5. List of voids - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_voids

    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 × ...

  6. Sphere packing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sphere_packing

    Here there is a choice between separating the spheres into regions of close-packed equal spheres, or combining the multiple sizes of spheres into a compound or interstitial packing. When many sizes of spheres (or a distribution) are available, the problem quickly becomes intractable, but some studies of binary hard spheres (two sizes) are ...

  7. Diamond cubic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diamond_cubic

    Two points are adjacent in the diamond structure if and only if their four-dimensional coordinates differ by one in a single coordinate. The total difference in coordinate values between any two points (their four-dimensional Manhattan distance) gives the number of edges in the shortest path between them in the diamond structure. The four ...

    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 ...

  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
