    [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.

    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 × ...

  5. Sphere packing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sphere_packing

    The spheres considered are usually all of identical size, and the space is usually three-dimensional Euclidean space. However, sphere packing problems can be generalised to consider unequal spheres, spaces of other dimensions (where the problem becomes circle packing in two dimensions, or hypersphere packing in higher dimensions) or to non ...

    1978 – The first two papers on the topic of voids in the large-scale structure were published referencing voids found in the foreground of the Coma/A1367 clusters. [10] [14] 1981 – Discovery of a large void in the Boötes region of the sky that was nearly 50 h −1 Mpc in diameter (which was later recalculated to be about 34 h −1 Mpc).

    Moreover, the diamond crystal as a network in space has a strong isotropic property. [8] Namely, for any two vertices x, y of the crystal net, and for any ordering of the edges adjacent to x and any ordering of the edges adjacent to y, there is a net-preserving congruence taking x to y and each x-edge to the similarly ordered y-edge.

  8. Tetrahedron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetrahedron

    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 ...

  9. Cubic crystal system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cubic_crystal_system

    In the rock-salt structure, each of the two atom types forms a separate face-centered cubic lattice, with the two lattices interpenetrating so as to form a 3D checkerboard pattern. The rock-salt structure has octahedral coordination : Each atom's nearest neighbors consist of six atoms of the opposite type, positioned like the six vertices of a ...
