It is one of the cubic crystal system structures and one of the 11 types of translational lattice (Bravais lattice) structures. If the structural particles (atoms, ions, molecules or other atomic groups) of a specific substance are configured on each array, the specific crystal structure 3 of the substance has a structural particle in its unit cell of crystal at each vertex and in the center of the cube. The efficiency of spare filling of the body-centered cubic structure, which is made up of simple matter atoms, is slightly lower than that of the face centered cubic structure.
