Abstract: | In this paper we suggest a convenient algorithm of practical crystallography to correlate the index of a coordination sphere to the set of the filling polyhedra for simple cubic (s.c.) and body-centered cubic (b.c.c.) lattices. Any coordination sphere may be represented as a combination of seven polyhedra. We introduce here the notion of coordination spheres with, zero filling and derive a rule for going from the sphere numbering obtained in this way to the traditional one.Altai Polytechnical Institute.
