Atomic Packing Factor Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Atomic Packing Factor = Volume of Atoms in Unit Cell/Volume of Unit Cell
APF = Vatoms/Vunit cell
This formula uses 3 Variables
Variables Used
Atomic Packing Factor - Atomic Packing Factor is the fraction of volume in a crystal structure that is occupied by constituent particles.
Volume of Atoms in Unit Cell - (Measured in Cubic Meter) - Volume of Atoms in Unit Cell is the total volume of atoms present in the unit cell.
Volume of Unit Cell - (Measured in Cubic Meter) - Volume of Unit Cell is is defined as the space occupied within the boundaries of unit cell.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Volume of Atoms in Unit Cell: 20.61 Cubic Angstrom --> 2.061E-29 Cubic Meter (Check conversion here)
Volume of Unit Cell: 105 Cubic Angstrom --> 1.05E-28 Cubic Meter (Check conversion here)
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
APF = Vatoms/Vunit cell --> 2.061E-29/1.05E-28
Evaluating ... ...
APF = 0.196285714285714
STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit
0.196285714285714 --> No Conversion Required
FINAL ANSWER
0.196285714285714 0.196286 <-- Atomic Packing Factor
(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)

Atomic Packing Factor calculator

Atomic packing factor (APF), packing efficiency, or packing fraction is the fraction of volume in a crystal structure that is occupied by constituent particles. It is a dimensionless quantity and always less than unity. In atomic systems, by convention, the APF is determined by assuming that atoms are rigid spheres. The radius of the spheres is taken to be the maximum value such that the atoms do not overlap. For one-component crystals (those that contain only one type of particle),

How to Calculate Atomic Packing Factor?

Atomic Packing Factor calculator uses Atomic Packing Factor = Volume of Atoms in Unit Cell/Volume of Unit Cell to calculate the Atomic Packing Factor, The Atomic Packing factor formula is defined as ratio of volume of an atom in its unit cell to the volume of the total unit cell. Atomic Packing Factor is denoted by APF symbol.

How to calculate Atomic Packing Factor using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Atomic Packing Factor, enter Volume of Atoms in Unit Cell (Vatoms) & Volume of Unit Cell (Vunit cell) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Atomic Packing Factor calculation can be explained with given input values -> 0.196286 = 2.061E-29/1.05E-28.
