How Many Tetrahedral Voids are Occupied in Diamond

Voids are the voids that are present in crystal formations. These gaps can emerge because of the various atom arrangements. Four spheres are placed in a tetrahedral configuration, and spaces between them contain tetrahedral voids. This void forms when a sphere from the second layer is placed over the void of the first layer. In a crystal, a single triangular void or space is surrounded by four atomic spheres. The tetrahedral vacancy consequently has a coordination number of four. Diamonds have a ZnS-type structure. Carbon atoms occupy all of the fcc lattice locations as well as alternate...
