  2. Bravais lattice - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bravais_lattice

    The seven lattice systems and their Bravais lattices in three dimensions. In geometry and crystallography, a Bravais lattice, named after Auguste Bravais (), [1] is an infinite array of discrete points generated by a set of discrete translation operations described in three dimensional space by

  3. Crystal structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_structure

    The fourteen three-dimensional lattices, classified by lattice system, are shown above. The crystal structure consists of the same group of atoms, the basis, positioned around each and every lattice point. This group of atoms therefore repeats indefinitely in three dimensions according to the arrangement of one of the Bravais lattices.

  4. List of space groups - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_space_groups

    In Hermann–Mauguin notation, space groups are named by a symbol combining the point group identifier with the uppercase letters describing the lattice type. Translations within the lattice in the form of screw axes and glide planes are also noted, giving a complete crystallographic space group. These are the Bravais lattices in three dimensions:

  5. Crystal system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_system

    These lattices are classified by the space group of the lattice itself, viewed as a collection of points; there are 14 Bravais lattices in three dimensions; each belongs to one lattice system only. They [ clarification needed ] represent the maximum symmetry a structure with the given translational symmetry can have.

  6. Orthorhombic crystal system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthorhombic_crystal_system

    Orthorhombic lattices result from stretching a cubic lattice along two of its orthogonal pairs by two different factors, resulting in a rectangular prism with a rectangular base (a by b) and height (c), such that a, b, and c are distinct. All three bases intersect at 90° angles, so the three lattice vectors remain mutually orthogonal.

  7. List of planar symmetry groups - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_planar_symmetry_groups

    The 17 wallpaper groups, with finite fundamental domains, are given by International notation, orbifold notation, and Coxeter notation, classified by the 5 Bravais lattices in the plane: square, oblique (parallelogrammatic), hexagonal (equilateral triangular), rectangular (centered rhombic), and rhombic (centered rectangular).

  8. Hexagonal crystal family - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hexagonal_crystal_family

    In either case, there are 3 lattice points per unit cell in total and the lattice is non-primitive. The Bravais lattices in the hexagonal crystal family can also be described by rhombohedral axes. [4] The unit cell is a rhombohedron (which gives the name for the rhombohedral lattice). This is a unit cell with parameters a = b = c; α = β = γ ...

  9. Oblique lattice - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oblique_lattice

    The oblique lattice is one of the five two-dimensional Bravais lattice types. [1] The symmetry category of the lattice is wallpaper group p2. The primitive translation vectors of the oblique lattice form an angle other than 90° and are of unequal lengths.
