  2. Cubic crystal system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cubic_crystal_system

    This structure is often confused for a body-centered cubic structure because the arrangement of atoms is the same. However, the caesium chloride structure has a basis composed of two different atomic species. In a body-centered cubic structure, there would be translational symmetry along the [111] direction.

  3. Crystal structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_structure

    This type of structural arrangement is known as cubic close packing (ccp). The unit cell of a ccp arrangement of atoms is the face-centered cubic (fcc) unit cell. This is not immediately obvious as the closely packed layers are parallel to the {111} planes of the fcc unit cell. There are four different orientations of the close-packed layers.

  4. Crystal system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_system

    The diamond crystal structure belongs to the face-centered cubic lattice, with a repeated two-atom pattern.. In crystallography, a crystal system is a set of point groups (a group of geometric symmetries with at least one fixed point).

  5. Supercell (crystal) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supercell_(crystal)

    [2] For example, the matrix = transforms a primitive cell to body-centered. Another particular case of the transformation is a diagonal matrix (i.e., P i ≠ j = 0 {\textstyle P_{i\neq j}=0} ). This called diagonal supercell expansion and can be represented as repeating of the initial cell over crystallographic axes of the initial cell.

  7. Unit cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit_cell

    A primitive cell is a unit cell that contains exactly one lattice point. For unit cells generally, lattice points that are shared by n cells are counted as ⁠ 1 / n ⁠ of the lattice points contained in each of those cells; so for example a primitive unit cell in three dimensions which has lattice points only at its eight vertices is considered to contain ⁠ 1 / 8 ⁠ of each of them.

  8. Tetragonal crystal system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetragonal_crystal_system

    An example of the tetragonal crystals, wulfenite Two different views (top down and from the side) of the unit cell of tP30-CrFe (σ-phase Frank–Kasper structure) that show its different side lengths, making this structure a member of the tetragonal crystal system.

  9. Close-packing of equal spheres - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Close-packing_of_equal_spheres

    There are two simple regular lattices that achieve this highest average density. They are called face-centered cubic (FCC) (also called cubic close packed) and hexagonal close-packed (HCP), based on their symmetry. Both are based upon sheets of spheres arranged at the vertices of a triangular tiling; they differ in how the sheets are stacked ...
