But look at your assumptions.
* 3 dimensions
* a discrete lattice structure: what sets the unit cell size
* face centre cubic - why this layout, and not one of the other
possible crystalline types
* what are these higher energy dances? It seems if you add energy to a
FCC crystal, you just melt the crystal. Where do these additional
states come from?
