Cubic face centred
Definition
- 1. Face-Centered Cubic (fcc) Lattice is a type of lattice structure that can be created by adding a lattice point at the center of each square face of a simple cubic lattice. It has 12 nearest neighbors and a coordination number of 12. (ScienceDirect, AI generated definition based on: Physics of Condensed Matter, 2012). 2. It is a type of atomic arrangement and is relatively "tightly" packed (atomic packing factor = 0.74). FCC is formally defined as a cubic lattice with the face positions fully equivalent to each of the eight corners. (https://www.southampton.ac.uk/~pasr1/g33.htm). 3. Face-centered cubic is the name given to a type of atom arrangement found in nature. A face-centered cubic unit cell structure consists of atoms arranged in a cube where each corner of the cube has a fraction of an atom with six additional full atoms positioned at the center of each cube face.
