Crystal structure - face centered cubic (fcc)
The spheres are located at each vertex of the cube, and in the center of the faces.
The spheres in the vertices contribute with (1/8).
The spheres in the faces are cut in half, they contribute with (1/2).
There are 8 vertices and 6 faces, therefore there are 4 complete spheres per unit cell.
