The crystal lattice parameters a, b, and c have the dimension of length. The three numbers represent the size of the unit cell , that is, the distance from a given atom to an identical atom in the same position and orientation in a neighboring cell (except for very simple crystal structures, this will not necessarily be distance to the nearest ...
The geometry of the unit cell is defined as a parallelepiped, providing six lattice parameters taken as the lengths of the cell edges (a, b, c) and the angles between them (α, β, γ). The positions of particles inside the unit cell are described by the fractional coordinates ( x i , y i , z i ) along the cell edges, measured from a reference ...
Vegard's law assumes that both components A and B in their pure form (i.e., before mixing) have the same crystal structure. Here, a A (1-x) B x is the lattice parameter of the solid solution, a A and a B are the lattice parameters of the pure constituents, and x is the molar fraction of B in the solid solution.
Similar to the ideal hcp structure, the perfect dhcp structure should have a lattice parameter ratio of = In the real dhcp structures of 5 lanthanides (including β-Ce) / variates between 1.596 (Pm) and 1.6128 (Nd). For the four known actinides dhcp lattices the corresponding number vary between 1.620 (Bk) and 1.625 (Cf).
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). A lattice system is a set of Bravais lattices.
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
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.

The degree of translation is then added as a subscript showing how far along the axis the translation is, as a portion of the parallel lattice vector. For example, 2 1 is a 180° (twofold) rotation followed by a translation of 1 / 2 of the lattice vector. 3 1 is a 120° (threefold) rotation followed by a translation of 1 / 3 of ...
