  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 ).

  5. Antiperovskite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antiperovskite

    For the antiperovskite structure to be structurally stable, the tolerance factor must be between 0.71 and 1. If between 0.71 and 0.9, the crystal will be orthorhombic or tetragonal. If between 0.9 and 1, it will be cubic. By mixing the B anions with another element of the same valence but different size, the tolerance factor can be altered.

  6. Triply periodic minimal surface - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triply_periodic_minimal...

    Numerous examples are known with cubic, tetragonal, rhombohedral, and orthorhombic symmetries. Monoclinic and triclinic examples are certain to exist, but have proven hard to parametrise. [1] TPMS are of relevance in natural science. TPMS have been observed as biological membranes, [2] as block copolymers, [3] equipotential surfaces in crystals ...

  7. 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.
