Abstract
The model for crystal structure involving close packing of equivalent spheres is simple and intuitive. It is a handy tool and is familiar to material scientists. In this work, the usefulness of this model is expanded. An intuitive presentation of the structure of ferrites is developed from the close spherical packing model instead of from group theory. It is demonstrated here that the model is versatile by revealing information about structure not previously presented with this model.
