The XRD shows that the cobalt powder exists mostly in face centered cubic (fcc) structure, a little in simple hexagonal.

In earlier calculations, the initial configurations of the metallic clusters were often assumed as the fragments of bulk solids such as face centered cubic (FCC) or body centered cubic (BCC).

Orientation stability during uniaxial tension of face-centered cubic (FCC) metal sheets is predicted using a rate-sensitive crystal plasticity model.
