"Close packing" refers to the most tightly packed or space-efficient composition of crystal structures( lattices). The spheres must be arranged as close as possible to each other to minimize the volume of unfilled space.

The ABC is a face centered cubic arrangement I believe. It's the most effect way to pack. I don't know if the ABAB layering is anything other than hexagonal closed packing.

What tool did you model this with? Have you done this in 3D?

Is the unit cell of the ABAB layering a face centered cubic unit cell, and the ABCABC a body centered cubic unit cell?
