In HCP or CCP constituent particles occupy 74% of the available space. The remaining space (26%) in between the spheres remains unoccupied and is called interstitial voids or holes. Considering the close packing arrangement, each sphere in the second layer rests on the hollow space of the first layer, touching each other. The void created is called tetrahedral void. If R is the radius of the spheres in the close packed arrangement then, R (radius of tetrahedral void) = 0.225 R In a close packing arrangement, the interstitial void formed by the combination of two triangular voids of the first and second layer is called octahedral coid. Thus, double triangular void is surrounded by six spheres. The centre of these spheres on joining, forms octahedron. If R is the radius of the sphere. in a close packed arrangement then, R (radius of octahedral void = 0.414 R). In the spinel structure, oxide ions are cubic close packed whereas 1/8th of tetrahedral voids are occupied by A^(2+) cations and 1/2 of octahedral voids are occupied by B^(3+) cations.

A spinel is an important class of oxide consisting two types of metal ions with the oxide ions arranged in ccp layers . The normal spinel has one -eight of the tetrahedral holes occupied by one type of metal ions and one- half of the octahedral holes occupied by another type of metal ion. Such a spine is formed by Mg^(2+), Al^(3+) and O^(2-) . The neutrality of the crystal is being maintained. Type of hole occupied by Al^(3+) ions is:
