Complex alloy structures regarded as sphere packings. I. Definitions and basic principles
Abstract
Complex alloy structures, particularly those of transition metals, are considered as determined by the geometricnl requirements for sphere packing. A characteristic of the class of structures discussed is that tetrahedral groupings of atoms occur everywhere in the structure--alternatively stated, coordination polyhedra have only triangular faces. The topological and geometrical properties of such polyhedra are examined and rules and theorems regarding them are deduced. Justification is given for the prominence of four such polyhedra (for coordination numbers of 12, 14, 15, and 16) in actual structures. General principles regarding the combination of these polyhedra into full structures are deduced and necessary definitions are given for terms that facilitate the detailed discussion of this class of structures.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
