What is the total number of atoms per unit cell in a face centred cubic (fcc) structure ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Contribution by the atoms present at eight corners `=8xx(1)/(8)=1`
Contribution by the atoms present at six face centres `=6xx(1)/(2)=3`
Total number of atoms present in unit cell = 3 + 1 = 4
