regular system







Seems like my last actvities brought me too much headache. Maybe I should read a book, for a change.
The cuboctahedron. The "coordination polyhedron" in the fcc. It contains one central point and 12 ligands. The "elementary cubic cell" of the system holds 14 points and has no central point. I find it hard to connect these basic concepts.
