What fraction of one edge centred octahedral void lies in one unit cell of fcc?
- 13
- 14
- 112
- 12
Answer
(2) 14
Solution
In fcc, an octahedral void lies at the centre of each edge.
Each edge is shared by 4 unit cells.
Fraction of one edge-centred octahedral void in one unit cell = 14
Total octahedral voids per fcc cell = 12 14 + 1 = 4
