above the first layer. This produces the stacking ABCABCABC, and is actually the
[111] direction of a cubic crystal structure. In this context, a stacking fault is a local
deviation from one of the close-packed stacking sequences to the other one. Usually, only one- two- or three-layer interruptions in the
stacking sequence are referred to as stacking faults. An example for the fcc structure is the sequence ABCABABCAB.
Stacking faults carry a given formationenthalpy per unit area; this is calledstacking-fault energy.
