Each atom has six 1/6 atoms at each of top and bottom
layer, two half atoms at top and bottom layer and 3 full
atoms at the middle layer.
Therefore each HCP unit cell has
(2 x 6 x 1/6) + (2 x ) + 3 = 6 atoms
Examples: Zinc (a = 0.2665 nm, c/a = 1.85)
Cobalt (a = 0.2507 nm, c.a = 1.62)

Example:
Calculate the APF of the zinc crystal structure by using the
following data: pure zinc has the HCP crystal structure
with lattice constants a = 0.2665 nm and c = 0.4947 nm.
