Crystal Structures
Common packing arrangements:
- Simple Cubic (SC): APF = 52.4%
- Body-Centered Cubic (BCC): APF = 68.0%
- Face-Centered Cubic (FCC): APF = 74.0%
- Hexagonal Close-Packed (HCP): APF = 74.0%
Calculate Crystal Packing Parameters and Void Spaces
ChemistryCalculatorHub.info
Calculate packing efficiency for different crystal structures.
Calculate tetrahedral and octahedral void sizes and locations.
Common packing arrangements:
Types of interstitial sites:
Packing efficiency affects:
Additional considerations:
APF = (Volume of atoms)/(Unit cell volume)
r(void) = R(0.225 to 0.414) for tetrahedral
ρ = r(cation)/r(anion)
