Face Centered Cubic Structures

There are four main crystal structures: simple cubic, body centered cubic, face centered cubic, and hexagonal closed packed. These structures differ in their unit cells and how efficiently they pack atoms. Simple cubic has a packing efficiency of 52%, while body centered cubic is 68%, face centered cubic is 74%, and hexagonal closed packed is also 74%. Within the crystal structures there are two main types of voids where atoms are not located: octahedral voids which are surrounded by 6 spheres, and tetrahedral voids which are surrounded by 4 spheres.
