Question
When examining the atomic layers used to construct the models (i.e., select the HCP and FCC bodies to be visible at the same
time), which appears to be packed more densely?
Comparison of FCC and HCP
Is the HCP model stacked the layers in an A-B-A-B-... or an A-B-C-A-B-C-... stacking sequence? (In other words, were atoms in
the first and third layers aligned or not?)
When you examine the tilted FCC model, is the added third layer of close-packed spheres aligned with those in the first layer,
or with the voids of the first layer? In other words, is FCC an A-B-A-B-... or an A-B-C-A-B-C-... stacking sequence?
When looking at large numbers of atoms (i.e., many unit cells stacked together), and considering that atoms don't care about
orientation with respect to "horizontal" and "vertical," explain the similarities and the differences between the FCC and HCP
structure.
