  2. Crystal system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_system

    R = n 1 a 1 + n 2 a 2 + n 3 a 3, where n 1 , n 2 , and n 3 are integers and a 1 , a 2 , and a 3 are three non-coplanar vectors, called primitive vectors . 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 ...

  3. Tetragonal crystal system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetragonal_crystal_system

    In crystallography, the tetragonal crystal system is one of the 7 crystal systems. Tetragonal crystal lattices result from stretching a cubic lattice along one of its lattice vectors, so that the cube becomes a rectangular prism with a square base ( a by a ) and height ( c , which is different from a ).

  6. Orthorhombic crystal system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthorhombic_crystal_system

    In crystallography, the orthorhombic crystal system is one of the 7 crystal systems. 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.

  7. Allotropes of boron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allotropes_of_boron

    Speculation as to the structure of this phase has included face-centred cubic (analogous to Al); α-Ga, and body-centred tetragonal (analogous to In). [50] It has also been suggested that the nonmetal-metal transition is simply the result of a band gap closure, as occurs with iodine, rather than a structural transition.

  8. Crystallographic point group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystallographic_point_group

    For example, the point groups 1, 2, and m contain different geometric symmetry operations, (inversion, rotation, and reflection, respectively) but all share the structure of the cyclic group C 2. All isomorphic groups are of the same order , but not all groups of the same order are isomorphic.

  9. Crystal structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_structure

    In monoclinic, trigonal, tetragonal, and hexagonal systems there is one unique axis (sometimes called the principal axis) which has higher rotational symmetry than the other two axes. The basal plane is the plane perpendicular to the principal axis in these crystal systems.
