Thus we have four anions (FCC) and four cations, which corresponds with the stoichiometry of the salt (1:1). occupying the tetrahedral holes. Remember that the tetrahedral holes are found between each ...
This article reaffirms the designation of ‘collective bonding’, using additional computational tools to support the original ...
The general formula is AB 2 O 4. The oxygens form an fcc lattice. The A cations occupy tetrahedral holes, and the B cation occupy octahedral holes. It then follows that 1/8 of the tetrahedral holes ...
In the zinc blend structure the sulphur ions form an fcc structure and the zinc ions occupy half of the tetrahedral sites in this structure to attain charge neutrality. The crystal has a lattice ...
