Cobalt has a HCP crystal structure with c/a ratio of 1.635, whereas the maximum solubility of Ni in Co at room temperature is approximately 35 wt%. Assume that the unit cell volume for this alloy is the same as for pure Co, and the radius of Co is 0.125 nm.For cobalt and nickel, the net magnetic moments per atom are 1.72 and 0.60 Bohr magnetons, respectively.
