For calculating voids between two layers A and B.
The dots are representing tetrahedral voids.
no. of tetrahdral voids = 3 + 1 +1/3 × 6 = 6
so in one complete unit cell total tetrahedral voids = 12, out of which 8 are completely inside but rest are shared by other unit cells.
Octahedral voids = 3 = represented by (x).
So total octahedral voids = 6 = All are completely inside.
