Three-Dimensional Cubic Lattices
Simple cubic
aaa
1/8x 8 =1 particle
coordination number = 6
Body-centered cubic
abab
(1/8 x 8 ) + 1 = 2 particles
coordination number = 8
Face-centered cubic
cubic closest pack
abcabc
(1/8 x 8 ) + (1/2x 6 ) = 4 particles
coordination number = 12
Calculation of atomic radii
Cu faced-centered cubic

lattice parameter, a
(3.617 x 10-8)2 + (3.617 x 10-8)2 = (4r)2
r = 1.279 x 10-8 cm 1 x 10-2 m 1 pm
