Face centred cubic (fcc) or Cubic closed pack (ccp) - these are the two names for the same lattice.
We can thhink of this cell as being made by another atom into each face of a simple cubic lattice - hence the " face centred cubic " name .
In such a unit cell there are atoms at all the corners , and at the centre of all the faces of the cube.
Each atom located at the face - centre is shared between two adjacent cells and only half of the atom belongs to a unit cell. Thus ,the number of atoms in this cell are ,
(i) 8 corner atoms x {tex}\frac{1}{8}{/tex} atom per unit cell = 8 x {tex}\frac{1}{8}{/tex} = 1 atom
(ii) 6 atoms at the faces x{tex}\frac{1}{2}{/tex} atom per unit cell = 6 x {tex}\frac{1}{2}{/tex} = 3 atoms
{tex}\therefore{/tex} Total number of atoms per unit cell = 4 atoms
