    The document describes the tetrahedral void in a body-centered cubic crystal structure. It contains two figures showing the structure and relationships between distances. The distance from a corner atom to a body-centered atom is √3a/2, forming an imaginary cube with the red dotted region. Solving equations relating distances to the atomic radius R shows that the radius r of the tetrahedral void is 0.291 times the atomic radius R.

    Tetrahedral Void in BCC

    Please see the following figure to have an idea about the tetrahedral void in BCC crystal structure.
    The body diagonal in BCC structure is √3a. Its related to radius of the atoms via equation 1:

    √3a =4R 1

    The distance from the centre of one corner atom to the centre of body centred atom will thus be
    √3a/2. This is what is represented in the imaginary cube (right hand figure) comprising of the area
    enclosed by the red dotted region shown in the left figure.

    The distance between two black atoms (right hand figure) is √3a/2. The distance marked by yellow
    √5
    dotted line is 4
    a. This distance is related to R+r via equation 2.

    √5
    4
    a =R+r 2

    Solving equations 1 and 2 lead upto the following result.

    r = 0.291R
