Packing Efficiency Since the layering pattern in all of the lattices leaves empty space between the particles, the unit cell is not completely occupied by atoms (here we are treating atoms like hard spheres). The packing efficiency, which is the percentage of occupied space in the cube, is not 100%. The packing efficiency is not the same for all 3 cubic lattices. A more densely packed unit cell will have a higher packing efficiency than a less densely packed one. The packing efficiency of a lattice structure measures hovw well the space inside of a unit cell is utilized. It is the percent ratio of volume occupied by the particles in a unit cell to its total volume. Packing efficiency (VaceupiesVptal) x 100% particles occupying the cell and their location within the cell. The edge length of each unit cell is derived using trigonometric relationships (see Figure directly below) where / is the edge length and ris the The occupied volume (Veccupied) is related to the number radius of the…
