The packing fraction (or particle volume fraction) for a lattice is given by:

Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \phi = \frac{ N V_{\mathrm{particle}} } { v_{\mathrm{cell}} }}

Where N is the number of particles per unit cell (which has volume Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle v_{\mathrm{cell}}} ). For a sphere, the volume is Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle V=4\pi R^3/3} so:

For a cubic unit cell of edge-length a:
