Atoms in Hexagonal Harmony HCP Unit Cells

The video tutorial explains the structure of a hexagonal closed packing (HCP) unit cell. It describes the arrangement and contribution of different types of atoms within the unit cell, including corner atoms, face centered atoms, and body centered atoms. The tutorial calculates the total number of atoms contributing to the HCP unit cell, concluding that there are six atoms in total.

What is the role of body centered atoms in the hexagonal closed packing unit cell?
