THE USE OF STRUCTURAL COMPACT MATRIX METHOD FOR CALCULATING THE COMPACTNESS COEFFICIENT
The method of compact matrix description of regular three-dimensional spatial configurations and numerical techniques developed on its basis for calculating some structural and energy parameters of cubic lattices have proved to be more effective in comparison with other numerical methods. The successful application of the compact matrix method for the description of the simplest hexagonal lattice allows us to develop more efficient numerical methods for calculating the structural and energy parameters of lattices of this type.
