KS8074 Wurtzite Crystal Model
Overview
The zinc atoms as well as the sulfur atoms are hexagonally close-packed by themselves. These two lattices are displaced from one another by 3/8 of the length of the unit cell. This leads to a tetrahedral arrangement, with each kind of atom having four equidistant neighbors of the opposite kind situated at the corners of a tetrahedron. The unit cell is clearly indicated with colored thread.
