Why does carbon atoms occupy the octahedral void?

07 July 2019 1 1K Report

Why does carbon atoms occupy the octahedral void in BCC atoms even though they are smaller than the tetrahedral voids? If the reason is because of less distortion I would be very pleased to see diagram supporting the argument.
