    The hexagonal close-packed crystal structure coodination number is 12. There are 12 atoms adjacent to atom a (the coordination number is 12) Every vertex is shared by 6 hexagons, So there are 6 atoms in a single cell. The volume of a total unit cell is calculated in this way: h=b / 2.

    The Coodination Number


    Below is a model of the hexagonal close-packed crystal. Obviously, on the horizontal plane where atom A lies, another 6 atoms are next to it. Its easy to imagine that it is the same on its vertical plane. So in all, there are 12 atoms adjacent to atom A (the coordination number is 12).

    (Atomic Packing Factor)
    As we known :

    VS total _ sphere _ volume APF = = total _ unit _ cell _ volume VC


    These 3 atoms completely belong to one single model . The central atom on each horizontal plane is shared by 2 hexagons (there are two horizontal planes) Every vertex is shared by 6 hexagons. So there are 6 atoms in a single cell in all.

    the total sphere volume is

    8 R

    Look at the model on the right side, there are 4 atoms with black circles. The 4 sphere centers make up of a regular tetrahedron.

    On the right is the model of a regular tetrahedron. So, we can find that : h=b/2 We can obtain b by calculating h.

    The volume of a total unit cell is calculated in this way:

    VC = S b = 6 S b 1 3 3 24 6 2 = 6 ( sin60 ) a b = R ( 2R) 2 2 3 = 24 2R3

    Then, the APF is calculated like this:

    VS total _ sphere _ volume APF = = total _ unit _ cell _ volume VC 8 R = = 0.7402 3 24 2 R
