Close packed planes, {111} planes, can be characterised into three types of layers:A, B and C


Close packed planes, {111} planes, can be characterised into three types of layers: A, B and C

These layers differ by their position relative to the A-layer:


Close packed planes, {111} planes, can be characterised into three types of layers: A, B and C

These layers differ by their position relative to the A-layer:

A - layer
B - layer
C - layer
Both cubic close packed (ccp) and hexagonal close packed (hcp) structures can be built using these three layers
