A276648 Number of points of norm <= n in the body-centered cubic lattice with the lattice parameter equal to 2/sqrt(3). 1

COMMENTS
Experimentally observed dense bcc clusters of gold contain 1, 9, 59, 169, 339, 701 and 1243 nanoparticles (N.G. Khlebtsov, Fig. 32 and text on p. 208), exactly matching the first 7 terms of the sequence.
First 5 terms are the same as A276450.

EXAMPLE
The origin has norm 0, thus a(0)=1. The distance to the 8 vertices of the cube from the origin is 1, because the edge of the cube is 2/sqrt(3). Thus a(1)=9.
